Metro Area R/C Flying's 2nd oOne Time Newsletter.

I took it back to DIT where it was originally built. They said that it had burned out the power supply; the motherboard, processor and the RAM would have to be replaced, but the hard disk would run again when that was fixed. I said go ahead and fix it since I didn't want to have to reformat the hard drive.

From then on things got worse. After the parts where replaced, they spent four hours trying to get the hard drive to run but it never did. My video cards were no longer right for the new motherboard and processor so I had to buy a new one. (They no longer make the old motherboard or processor)

I could fill this entire page with the details, but I won’t. I now have a rebuilt computer with nothing but Windows XP on it. By the time I got all the new cords and converters to make everything work again, it came to more that $690.00. They tell me that since it's rebuilt, it's only guaranteed for one month.

I figured now that I am completely out of money, it would be a good time to get a new printer since my old one is no longer working. There went another $200.00.

Thanks Ed Paasch

Ed buys his airplane magazines from www.buy-topia.com, which is one of my web sites with Amazon. Ed always e-mails me to let me know of his latest purchase. If more people did this, I would have less difficulty funding Metro Area R/C Flying and the four Club web sites that I publish. (Thanks Ed!)

Funds to Keep Operating Club Web Sites

To pay for the rent on my web space, software for making web sites, and previously-mentioned expenses, I put ads on my web sites and became both a Google affiliate and an Amazon affiliate.

These pay a little but unfortunately very little.

If any of you are planning to buy new airplanes, cameras, electronic equipment or just about anything, then go to one of my web sites and click on an Amazon Ad. They carry a tremendous amount of different products for a really good price.

I am a Amazon Affiliate

When you click on an Amazon Ad on one of my Web Sites, you will go to the Amazon web site. If you buy something, Amazon will pay me between 4% and 6% of it's cost for referring me to them. (You must purchase the item without leaving their site after you have gone there from one of my ads. (You have to buy something from Amazon for me to be paid).

I am a Google Affiliate

Unlike the Amazon ads, the Google ads are pay-per-click. That means that every time someone clicks on one of my Google ads they pay me something. They usually pay one to 25 cents. I never have quite figured out how they determine how much to pay for each click.

Out of Area Schedule

I have recently added the Grand Island Modelers Newsletter, all their events, and a Field . James Laudenklos has been sending the club information. Jim's E-Mail

I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that a club event, will not conflict, with another club's event. The next most important service is to provide a Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me at: MetroRCFlying@Gmail.com There’s an Email Link on every page.
