FAC NEWSLETTER INDEX compiled by Lincoln Ross currently, issues 149 (Jan/Feb 1993) thru 278 (Jul/Aug. 2014), also 36 and 132 thru 135 I've tried to get all the major articles, all the three views, and all the plans. However, this is a work in progress and I find that sometimes I miss things, or I may be inconsistent about what makes the cut and what doesn’t. If you found it somewhere else, you may find a more up to date version of this document in the Exotic and Special Interest/ Free Flight section in RCGroups.com. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1877075 Send corrections to [email protected].
