Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Its been a great year of model aircraft flying. A lot of changes have occurred this year. The rapid expansion of electric powered aircraft has become dominate. The little bind and fly aircraft is really popular.  I believe that when the batteries become more refined and less dangerous you will see an even larger growth in electric flight. Gasoline powered aircraft have also become popular due to the lower cost of gasoline over methanol based fuels. But as for now the gasoline engines are reserved for larger aircraft usually starting in the 1.20 size.  Even though the price of a gallon of methanol based fuel is relatively expensive, it still has its place in the hobby. The San Gabriel Valley Radio Control League wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  If you want to make a New Years resolution, how about joining the SGVRCL if your not already a member.
