Hi Don I enjoyed flying with you guys last fall.

Before replying I tried to find a recently printed assessment / proposal regarding electronic K-Factor. It was probably in one of the K-Factor articles but couldn't find it. Maybe someone will remember it and point the way.

We long term members support the NSRCA for what it has and continues to contribute to the RC-Aerobatics not for what we personally receive in return. This issue can go beyond a members only newsletter making pattern more visible, supporting and promoting participation.

In past years I too would have preferred a hard copy but in mid 2010 our club changed to a monthly E-newsletter, which I retain in a folder on my PC, now 50M. File size and storage has become irrelevant for those of us with a high-speed internet connection but retention of a mailed hard copy for those member that prefer it should be considered.
Our club sends the E-version to a print shop for printing, which doesn't require set-up, deadlines or print job scheduling. These folks are all over and most are happy to bid low volume (by publishing standards) repeat business. Some will likely handle addressing and mailing duties as well.

I now prefer the E-version especially when trying to find something I remember reading.
I truly wish I could have found the above mentioned article to help advance this discussion.
