Which used to be the SMAE, but someone thought "Society of Model Aeronautical Engineers" would be too high-brow for todays fliers, or they wouldn't understand such big words, or something. Everything gets dumbed down these days.
Yeah some take political correctness to extremes!
SNAE sounds so much better imagine saying yeah I belong to SMAE!

We were talking about airplanes powered by .010 TD's, and now we end up talking about the SMAE, BMFA, and the AMA.

Need to request another one.
They just sent me a "digital" card. Now I have to go get it laminated. I guess sending real ones got too expensive.

I note that I got no response for the plans I posted, so I assume they're no use
