| Send me the URL of your own personal website or other interesting sites you might have come across likely to be of interest to model flight enthusiasts. modelflight will visit the site and publish a brief write-up here! | |
| Here's a newly launched web site that you may find of interest ... |

"Keep up to date with all the latest news and reviews from the world of RC flying. Brought to you by the new CML Distribution Flight Team," states this new web site, launched by CML Distribution on Friday 2nd April (Good Friday). The site describes itself as primarily a blog that will be updated frequently by the CML Flight Team. I'm not sure why it is regarded as a blog - it just seems like a commercially driven magazine type site pure and simple!
The site is, of course, commercial in nature so there are plenty of adverts and commercial links to divert you and, surprisingly, links to a couple of model flying clubs under the Our Friends banner. The layout of the site is a little unusual, in that the two right hand columns remain the same for every page of the site, one carrying a 'featured video' and a sort of site index, whilst the right-most column is mostly adverts and commercial links.

| Please note: Website addresses (URLs) and reproduced images of websites appearing on this page are as they appear at date of publication. However, they are subject to subsequent change and may be different at some future date after this issue has become part of the modelflight archive. The appropriate links section of the current issue of modelflight will always carry the latest URL of any website featured here, provided such changes have been notified. |
I
must admit that initially I found it difficult to understand the structure
of the site. The Home page carries details of the Ten Most Recent Articles
on the site. Links to other sections headed Articles, Flight News, How
To, Product Reviews and Tips from the Team bring up material described
as an archive sorted into those particular categories together with material
that has appeared previously. The same material will appear from one section
to another where it can be regarded as fitting more than one category.
There are also direct links to a chronological archive which confused
me even further and I was also a bit puzzled how a site that started on
2nd April can have archive material dated March - a bit like those magazines
which have Readers' Letters from their very first issue!
