RC Videos

Unread post by Entropist » Wed Feb 29, 2012 1:29 pm

I was in the library the other day, and asked a librarian about the process for requesting purchases. She indicated

http://www.halifaxpubliclibraries.ca/re ... chase.html

I have put in a request for RC how-to videos from Air Age store.com, and suggest that you do as well. She said that, basically, the purchases are made on the squeaky wheel principle, and on the basis of use. I see them spending a ton of money on Yoga for every subset of humanity, and vampire books by the crate. Let's let them know that some of us are interested in higher pursuits.

Done..

(where it asks for title and author I just put "DVD's about radio controlled planes" and under author "any and all authors")
(These lines by default are required to be filled.)

Hey, the system works! I didn't hear anything back from the library until I got an email yesterday that they were holding these videos for me:
3D Aerobatics made easy
Advanced aerobatics made easy
Aerobatics made easy

They are all at the Bedford Public Library! I had actually bought these at a sale later, so I will be releasing them for circulation once I get over there. I hope you will all use them, show the library that there is a market for this stuff, and request some more as per my first post in this thread.

I released the videos this morning (Friday), so the first on the list should be getting notified shortly. Doesn't hurt to tell the library that we like this kind of stuff, and submit suggestions if you see any other videos we might be interested in. Maybe Andrew or John O. could suggest some sailplane stuff.

Already done John. I requested the Radiocarbon Arts stuff after you posted that your request had worked out.

Ok..finaly got to place a hold on these vids...I am 5th in line..!

It helps when you get to the correct "Bedford Library"...I had the Bedford, TEXAS, library on the screen and could not find the product in their catalog..!

I see that these vids where done by John Glezellis; he was the demo pilot several years back when the Great Hobbies sponscered Greater Atlantic Fun Fly was held in Amherst, NS, on a rainy weekend.

A couple years later he worked as a designer with Fliton as they produced a model EXTRA. I bought one of these models and it's about time I built it..!

It has a semi wild covering scheme...and I used a pic of the model on the HEFA Application Form for a few years now.

Here's a couple pics of the EXTRA,
