Guys, I'm 82 and mostly finished with modeling beyond Stunthangar and Stuka Stunt posts and reply's. I still have airplanes and tons of equipment but don't build or write much any more. For years, I have sold a series of DVDs on all subjects having to do with model airplanes, design, construction and competition.
I have no interest in selling more DVDs. If it were possible , I'd like the latest DVD, Al's Models 4, to be widely distributed at little of no cost to as many interested modelers as possible.
Is the DVD worth the effort? Al's Models 4 contains about 190,000 words, 1640 pages of texts and photographs and 25 minutes of video. Its mostly technical but there is some of my personality there as well. All things considered, this is would seem enough of a modeling resource to justify some effort toward it's widespread distribution to as many people as possible who might value its content.
I still have bout 40 copies of my DVDs which I would volunteer to persons with the technical skills, equipment and the desire to make available some of this huge resource.
In the meantime, I invite any persons having a copy of Al's Models 3 or 4 please feel free to make copies for friends , acquaintances, or just interested modelers . Copies made from my DVDs will copy with full resolution and audio, equal in every respect to my copy masters, excepting the pretty labels.
I would welcome any suggestions how this DVD content might be distributed. Stunt News comes to mind but it is much too small and publishes as text which makes it incomparable with the DVD's video. This DVD could be broken into smaller segments for posting on the web. There is a Mustang flying video and all 15 hours of my BBQB Bearcat building free on YouTube. More of this would be nice if there were any way to make it all available.
In any case, I will welcome suggestions .
With the help[ of my computer guy, we made it possible for anyone to access all of the text and videos contained in the Al's Models 4 which I used to sell. All anyone has to do now to access any or all of the 190,000 words, 1600 pages and photos and 25 minutes of video. is to simply click on this link.
