Modeling Classifieds
The Academy of Model Aeronautics
and RCMarket.com have reached an
agreement that offers AMA members
access to one of the most sophisticated
hobby-related classified systems on the
Web.
The partnership enables AMA members
to post an advertisement on the AMA Web
site (www.modelaircraft.org) and have it
automatically posted on 23 other Radio
Control Web sites which are currently
participating in this extensive, one-of-akind
classified-advertising network.
Members can post advertisements,
review postings, discuss ads, and purchase
model-aviation items without ever leaving
the AMA Web site. Powered by
RCmarket.com software, the network
offers classified advertisements for Radio
Control, Control Line, and Free Flight
model-airplane equipment, as well as
Radio Control car and boat kits and
accessories.
The RCMarket software was designed
by modelers for modelers, and it features
intelligent search and ad-placement
systems to streamline the buying and
selling process.
RCMarket.com is owned and operated
by Kranitz Enterprises, Inc., which has
also developed LeaseSource.com,
CarWizard, and LeaseWizard.com. Kranitz
Enterprises CEO Michael Kranitz, who is
an AMA member, has developed several
related model-aviation Web sites,
including RCAirport.com. MA
