There's been several comments here & there that allude to a desire to have information available about building & 'owning' various aircraft sold thru MRC. Something like a 'Master Build Thread' that new owners could refer to for tips on building, possibly upgrading, even flying the models. It could also be useful for buyers wanting help deciding if this or that bird is for them.
Have been thinking for some time now on how to get something like this started (more difficult if you don't do it from the very start) - and the recent expansion will, I think, both enable it and fit right in with where the site's looking to go, I think.
So what I'd like to propose is, another major division of the forum, perhaps named 'The Build Bench'.
Under this section, pilot/owners are allowed to set up a new folder about any new MRC plane they have, and he and other owners can post their information about that plane - it's assembly how-to's, faults etc found, workarounds cures & fixes....right on down to refinishing and even flying tips where warranted.
Once a thread's started on a plane, all other comments about that particular model would go into this one ongoing thread . This would have the effect of having all information about that particular model centrally located, & easy to find. EG if FMS makes a 1400mm Zero & there's a thread, then MRC starts carrying a 1400mm Zero by Dynam....that would be a new thread.
Can I get any 'Amens'? <smiley image="anim_handshake.gif"/>
