Half-A- Flyer Issue 1 is on the way. All PDF's went out last night, hard copies go out tomorrow. If you did not get your PDF Email me directly: larrytheredbaron@aol.com and I will take care of that. Some did not go through so we can fix that. If you can not open the file e-mail me for a fix.
You can make copies for your friends, relatives, clubs or ... whoever. They will want to subscribe too when they see the magazine.

Do you have a place where you could put Issue 1 available for download?

That might get more people to take a look at it.

Larry Renger · « **Reply #2 on:** January 09, 2011, 08:24:26 AM »

Got my issue. I LIKE it!

Hats off to you, Larry.

How about hard copies ?

LARRY RICE · « **Reply #4 on:** January 09, 2011, 09:07:45 AM »

I will see what I can do about getting the magazine on our web site.

To get hard copies subscribe and note that you wish to start with issue 1, Subscription form is on page 8.

PerttiMe · « **Reply #5 on:** January 09, 2011, 09:21:55 AM »

... I am sure you could upload a PDF file the same way as the HTML, GIF and JPG files that you seem have there now. Then decide if you want a link to it on your site (where on it?) or if you just want to tell everybody the address to the file.

LARRY RICE · « **Reply #6 on:** January 09, 2011, 09:27:31 AM »

Okay, I will admit that I am not computer illiterate, I am computer stupid. I have sent your suggestion on the the computer genius who will work it out.

Thanks
Larry

I made paper payment for hard copy to blackhawk models on Dec. 16 2010.

LARRY RICE · « **Reply #8 on:** January 09, 2011, 10:12:19 AM »

Hard copies go to the mail tomorrow.

Email me your address and I will be sure that yours goes out.

Posted in the Open section about the new "HALF A FLYER". Only took a few minutes to print off a copy. My grandson looked at the last page and I asked him which plane he liked. It happened to be the same one I thought of getting for him.

John Hammonds · « **Reply #11 on:** January 11, 2011, 04:56:06 PM »

Got mine, Unzipped and viewed without any problems, excellent 1st issue for someone like me who is only just becoming aware of what 1/2A is all about these will hopefully become a treasure trove of info as more issues arrive. I definitely think you have a winner...

Only other observation is could the pdf version come ARF or is it a BOM thing.

I used a pdf merge program to join all the individual pdfs in the zip together into a single document..

I'm sure it has already been mentioned elswhere but where/how do I send payement for future issues, is Paypal OK?

Thank You!

Yes Pay Pal is fine. Send to Larrytheredbaron@aol.com and when you do please send it "Personal" and "Money Owed" it is cheaper for both of us.

Thanks again oh What is a PDF merge Program???
Larry

PerttiMe · « **Reply #13 on:** January 12, 2011, 12:58:20 AM »

I'd never heard of PDF merging, but I have never had the need for it either.

I put "PDF merge" into Google and found that those programs let you combine two or more pdf files into one. Maybe split one file into many too.

The Full version of Adobe Acrobat will do it (most computers have the free Adobe Reader for viewing PDF):
http://www.ehow.com/how_2111400_merge-pdf-files.html

there's also free ways to do it if you don't want to buy Acrobat:
http://www.mergepdf.net/
http://www.pdfmerge.com/
http://www.pdfsam.org/

I have not tried any of those, so cannot comment further if they are difficult to use, or cause any problems.

John Hammonds · « **Reply #14 on:** January 12, 2011, 06:30:35 AM »

Yep, As Petttime says it is just a program to merge many pdf's into a single pdf document. I use http://www.anypdftools.com/pdf-merger.html I'm still running on the free trial version at the moment which sticks a "Watermark" page at the end of the pdf you create. Just in case others were not seeing the same as me I've attached a screen shot of what was inside the ZIP file. (I now have a single pdf as well containing all the individual pages).

I'll Paypal you the money for future issues in the next few days.

Got my hardcopy today and looks great.

minnesotamodeler · « **Reply #16 on:** January 14, 2011, 08:57:49 AM »

Larry, I just sent you PayPal payment for future PDF versions.

LARRY RICE · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2011, 08:59:15 AM »

Got you covered Ray.

louie klein · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2011, 07:50:39 AM »

Got my first issue (hard cover), Excellent!!!--LOUIE

John_Craig · « **Reply #19 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:31:57 AM »

Just opened my copy. Very nicely done!.

I am looking forward to future issues.

What is the proper format to submit a photo or articles?

LARRY RICE · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2011, 09:44:32 AM »

I believe that the editor prefers "Word" but you might check with him: cdrk3@comcast.net

Wait until you see the next copy, I know some of the up coming articles and I am looking forward to getting it. I gave 5 copies to non builders and after a week I checked back in with them and all but one had read all of the articles. Does that mean that kids are that boarded today or that the magazine is that interesting?

john e. holliday · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2011, 10:59:15 AM »

I have read every page of the first issue. A lot of stuff I did not know about COX Engines.

Juan Valentin · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2011, 09:01:00 PM »

Thanks!

Very neat magazine . Thanks Larry. I stopped by a Hobby Shop in Tyler Texas that was advertised in the mag as a Black Hawk Dealer(Wings and Wheels Hobbies 903-939-1353) .Sure enough 1/2 stuff and other control line stuff.
Great people stop by and pay them a visit.

Elwyn Aud · « **Reply #25 on:** January 22, 2011, 08:25:44 PM »

Has there been a link established to download the first issue?
