Stunt News a must read
« on: March 16, 2017, 07:01:30 AM »
   Just want to say thanks to the Stunt News staff for a great job on the Jan-Feb 2017 issue. I just did a quick look through and it is up to it's high standards. I get the electronic issue so it saves Pampa the cost of paper. I was one of the original member but let it go for a few years but rejoined when the electronic sign up starter.
  If you are reading this and are not a member just go to the Pampa sight and sign up using a debit card.

I'm sad to see that Bob and Liz have decided to "roll up their lines".....they (and others) have done a great deal to carry on the publication that Tom Morris expanded to a REAL magazine.
Web sites, because they are virtually instantly updated, have supplanted mu8ch of the content that appeared in Stunt News. The same fate befell Control Line World, and, to a large extent, Flying Models.
Every American has access to the Internet.
Mayhaps someone will seize the torch and create/expand the PAMPA web site to include the content that appears in the magazine? Such a web site would be significantly less expensive that doing both print and web pages.....with virtually NO mailing expense. I believe that a reason that the PAMPA membership has shrunk  so significantly is that new people to flying CLPA simply don't see the need and cannot justify the expense......web sites cover most of what Stunt News covers.....
With an on-line publication of Stunt News, "tardy" District reports (VERY frequent) would not cause delays.......
I joined PAMPA just post "Pro Stunt News" and saw a continuing improvement through all of the permutations....and I am grateful to all that have contributed.

  Stunt News is available for download on the web site to members. Been that way for a few years now. I'm just an old fart that still like paper! And I don't mind waiting for it.

 Ditto.  y1

 I looked through the online version last night, lots of good stuff and Paul's new plane is looking WAY COOL!

 I usually check out the online version as soon as it comes out but also really enjoy receiving and collecting my SN hard copies.

I haven't received a printed copy for several years or a disc as thought the money might useful for PAMPA some where else.  But since I went to Windows 10 have been able to down load the issue to disc.  I may have the wrong type disc as they are what the wife had.

I just looked into joining with a printed magazine. What's the difference between the options that do and do not include a card? What would I use a membership card for?
I would be joining during my April pay cycle.
Thanks,
Rusty

I think the card is extra.  I think I paid for a card one year.  Some body beat me to it.  Thanks Mark. H^^
