NOTE; We have made some changes to the Builders Korner
page.
It has been divided into 3 pages;
One page which is called "R/C Links" has nothing but LINKS to other R/C Clubs in the state as well as links to web sites selling good stuff and other sites that may be of interest to RC Modelers. You can add to this link page, sites which you find of interest and that you think other RCers may find of interest. The Second page which is called "RC Builders Korner" is dedicated to building tips of all sorts. If you have a tip or have seen a tip that sounds good, send it to us to put on the web site. The Third page which is called "RC Builders News" has news items like other club events, swap meets, and other RC related news. This revamp of the Builders Korner is a result of inputs from viewers on how to improve the web site. Thank you guys!!! (The AMA Insider & AMA Today is a monthly publication by AMA which we will keep updated. These links have been moved to the RC Builders News page) |
2010 is a new year and for each event we will post pictures of them on our Photo Gallery which you can view or down load for yourself. There will be hundreds of photos for each event plus all our events of past years. Check them out --> ARCA's PHOTO GALLERY <-- for the most current pictures and videos of the field and events. (This year and last years.) You can copy any of these pictures to your computer, print them and/or e-mail them to a friend.
