Welcome!
Below you will find information regarding two internet based mailing lists dedicated to the sport of Model Aviation. The Free Flight Mailing List (FFML) is for folks interested in uncontrolled free flight models. The Slow Flight Mailing List (SFRC) discusses small and light radio controlled models. Info for both lists are on this one page as both mailing lists are hosted by the same server and the procedures & policies are very similar. FFML: All manners of Free Flight are discussed and are welcome within the FFML. Subscribers have experience with ultralight indoor duration as well as sport and scale FF models powered with rubber, electric, CO2, glow, diesel, compressed air and rocket motors. There is also often dicussion of handlaunched, catapult and towline gliders. SFRC: Due to continuing advances in technology, and the inherent tendency for modelers to tinker endlessly, it is possible to safely pilot radio controlled aircraft in limited spaces. Indeed, with modern electric motors, electronic speed controls, and micro radio gear, indoor r/c is now a practical pastime. So as to not double up with other mailing lists, the SFRC list is for discussion of slow flying models suitable to larger indoor venues, as well as the local park, or even the driveway and yard. Most discusion is about electric models, though other power sources such as glow, diesel & CO2 are also welcome. If you would like to subscribe to either or both lists, carefully read and follow the below instructions. There is also an F.A.Q. that provides additional information for list subscribers.
There are 2 versions of each list available, both containing the same info. You must choose one or the other. You can't subscribe to both options from the same address. Option A, the regular mail list: This option will send out the individual messages as they are received by the list server. The main advantage is that messages can be sorted and sifted within your email application to better suit your own modeling needs and preferences. Option B, Digest Format: The digest option sequences many individual messages as they come in. They are grouped into a single larger message which is then sent out at least once a day or after a digest accumulates about 30K of text. This option is prefered by many modelers getting personal email at work. |
