Here is a very nice collection of photos of a rare and beautiful P-35 Seversky (J-9) located at The Swedish Air Force Museum.  This is a TWO CD set and contains over 159 detailed images of this subject. The P-35, a forerunner of the Republic P-47, was the U.S. Army Air Corps first production single-seat, all-metal pursuit plane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. This walk around was donated by member Goran Grenander.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!

As we start a new year I wanted to take a moment and thank each and every one of you that have supported this site either with great build thread, content, financial support, or all of the above! AS I have said before YOU guys make RCSB what it is. Thanks for your support and lets keep growing R/C Scale Building in 2009!

A couple of items to cover

Updated Rules

The staff has condensed down the site rules to make them much simpler and more straight forward. This has also allowed us to get rid of the Forum Etiquette post since the relevant material has combined into Please take a moment and review them. This is a good time of year to review the site rules anyway (especially the new folks). You can find the Site rules at the top of each forum or you can click on the link below to view the updated rules.

Bad Email Addresses

As of January 1^st any user account with an invalid email address will be deactivated until a valid email address is received by us. I am received over 1000 non-delivery reports a month because of invalid email addresses. You will receive a warning Private message if your email address is invalid and then after 5 days your account will be locked until we receive a valid email address.

New stuff for 2009

Of course we plan on launching the new site this spring pending it is ready by then but also look for a couple of new goodies for site supporters and lifetime site supporters. We are working on getting the newsletter going finally since we have someone willing to relieve me of that responsibility. Also we will start broadcasting an audio RCSB Pod Cast quarterly that you will be able to either listen to on your iPod or directly on your computer. We will be launching the first podcast this first quarter sometime. If you dont know what a podcast is you read more about them by clicking on the link below:

We are looking for some great things this year as we continue to bring the scale community together. We cannot do this without YOUR help though. Tell you buddies to check out the site if they are not members. We want RCSB to be THE source of R/C scale aircraft information for both beginners and seasoned builders alike!

Until Next month!
