IN MY APRIL column I wrote about the
current trend of complicated aircraft now
being available already built and the
situations created when a relatively
inexperienced modeler improperly installs
equipment in these models. I received a
few nice messages and phone calls on this
column. One came from a hobby shop
owner, and what he had to say is not
something new, but it does bring up some
good points that many newcomers may not
consider.
Your local hobby shop is a great place
to gain knowledge by asking questions. It
used to be that the hobby shop was the
place we all went to purchase everything
for our modeling needs. We hung out at the
shop; many experienced customers helped
less-experienced customers as they came in
by offering “free” advice.
This is no longer the norm, as hobby
items, just like everything else, are
available through large outlets at great
prices. This creates headaches (and reduced
profits) for many shops, but that’s another
story. The point here is that many local
retail shops can still provide that service to
you.
Now don’t go into a shop with a model
you purchased at the local super discount
retail chain and expect the shop owner to
spend an inordinate amount of time with
you on the model. However, if you relate to
him/her that this was purchased as your
first step and you fully intend to be a
customer of theirs in the future, a good
shop owner will be happy to help. Even
better, if you purchase your supplies from
them, most will bend over backward to
help.
That said, some stores are more
knowledgeable than others. Not too long
ago I went to a large, well-stocked store
that is part of a national chain. I needed a
part that they had and was behind the
counter. The counter person had no idea
what it was, so I had to point it out to him.
Now I’m sure that if I’d not really
known the name of the part or where it
was, someone in that store would have.
But in this case, the person I was talking to
did not and really did not make an effort to
find someone who did. So the lesson here
is that you need to be sure to get to a
knowledgeable person. If the counter
person does not seem to know what he or
she is talking about, find someone who
does.
Fortunately most shops are staffed by
very experienced people (either that or the
store won’t stay open very long). Use
these folks to help you. Join a local club
and use the club members to help you.
Here is another thought: call AMA! We
too are here to help!
Broadband Over Powerlines (BPL)
continues to be examined by AMA. If you
recall from my last column, a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was issued
on the topic. This NPRM appeared in the
Federal Register on March 17. That is the
date which starts the clock, setting the
time frame within which we can make
comments on the NPRM.
By the time you read this, the AMA
Frequency Committee will have met again
at the Toledo Weak Signals trade show.
The committee, with the help of our
attorney, will discuss what our response to
this action should be.
As I’ve stated in a few previous
columns, check the AMA Web site for the
most up-to-the-minute news on this topic
at www.modelaircraft.org.

This month we list those who have donated $10 or
more in support of the Academy’s programs, the
National Model Aviation Museum and the
Aeromodeling Center, and those organizations that
have provided grants for which AMA has applied and
received. These people have made more than a
donation—they have made an investment in the future
of aeromodeling.
When you see these folks, thank them! They are
now among the thousands who have given back to
model aviation part of what model aviation has given to
them. Many things will be possible due to the their
thoughtful giving and generosity.
We list our supporters monthly. These donations
represent amounts processed in the month of
February 2004. If your name is not listed, please write
to the Membership Department and include a canceled
check. We want to recognize all contributors!
Thank you.

Technical Director Steve Kaluf
[email protected]
IN MY APRIL column I wrote about the
current trend of complicated aircraft now
being available already built and the
situations created when a relatively
inexperienced modeler improperly installs
equipment in these models. I received a
few nice messages and phone calls on this
column. One came from a hobby shop
owner, and what he had to say is not
something new, but it does bring up some
good points that many newcomers may not
consider.
Your local hobby shop is a great place
to gain knowledge by asking questions. It
used to be that the hobby shop was the
place we all went to purchase everything
for our modeling needs. We hung out at the
shop; many experienced customers helped
less-experienced customers as they came in
by offering “free” advice.
This is no longer the norm, as hobby
items, just like everything else, are
available through large outlets at great
prices. This creates headaches (and reduced
profits) for many shops, but that’s another
story. The point here is that many local
retail shops can still provide that service to
you.
Now don’t go into a shop with a model
you purchased at the local super discount
retail chain and expect the shop owner to
spend an inordinate amount of time with
you on the model. However, if you relate to
him/her that this was purchased as your
first step and you fully intend to be a
customer of theirs in the future, a good
shop owner will be happy to help. Even
better, if you purchase your supplies from
them, most will bend over backward to
help.
That said, some stores are more
knowledgeable than others. Not too long
ago I went to a large, well-stocked store
that is part of a national chain. I needed a
part that they had and was behind the
counter. The counter person had no idea
what it was, so I had to point it out to him.
Now I’m sure that if I’d not really
known the name of the part or where it
was, someone in that store would have.
But in this case, the person I was talking to
did not and really did not make an effort to
find someone who did. So the lesson here
is that you need to be sure to get to a
knowledgeable person. If the counter
person does not seem to know what he or
she is talking about, find someone who
does.
Fortunately most shops are staffed by
very experienced people (either that or the
store won’t stay open very long). Use
these folks to help you. Join a local club
and use the club members to help you.
Here is another thought: call AMA! We
too are here to help!
Broadband Over Powerlines (BPL)
continues to be examined by AMA. If you
recall from my last column, a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) was issued
on the topic. This NPRM appeared in the
Federal Register on March 17. That is the
date which starts the clock, setting the
time frame within which we can make
comments on the NPRM.
By the time you read this, the AMA
Frequency Committee will have met again
at the Toledo Weak Signals trade show.
The committee, with the help of our
attorney, will discuss what our response to
this action should be.
As I’ve stated in a few previous
columns, check the AMA Web site for the
most up-to-the-minute news on this topic
at www.modelaircraft.org.

This month we list those who have donated $10 or
more in support of the Academy’s programs, the
National Model Aviation Museum and the
Aeromodeling Center, and those organizations that
have provided grants for which AMA has applied and
received. These people have made more than a
donation—they have made an investment in the future
of aeromodeling.
When you see these folks, thank them! They are
now among the thousands who have given back to
model aviation part of what model aviation has given to
them. Many things will be possible due to the their
thoughtful giving and generosity.
We list our supporters monthly. These donations
represent amounts processed in the month of
February 2004. If your name is not listed, please write
to the Membership Department and include a canceled
check. We want to recognize all contributors!
Thank you.
