Omaha R/C Flyer's Central Website
  

Omaha's Central R/C Website - Metro Area R/C Flying

       Ten years ago I started a website for the Omahawk's RC Club.  One year later another Omahawk's member took over their website.  I wanted to continue to provide an online presence for the area clubs so:

       Olie Olson and I talked about starting a website, not just for one club, but for all the metro area R/C Clubs.  We thought this would make a positive difference and help our hobby to grow.

       Such a website would provide a schedule that would show all the events, for all the clubs, in one place so that R/C Flyers could quickly see what events were happening for that day, or weekend and clubs would be able to schedule upcoming events that wouldn't be on the same day. (The Metro Area Schedule)

       It would also provide maps to every event, club meeting, etc. so that even new members could find everything.  (Maps Page).

       It would provide a page with all of the different club Newsletters in one place.  (Newsletter Page)

       It would include links so you could find good prices when purchasing planes and equipment. (Links Page) 

       It would provide a place to run free ads for RC stuff you want to sell. (For Sale Page)

       It would provide a Video Page to show off your planes flying, plus the latest videos that are going around.

       It would provide a Weather Page to contain links to every weather station for the Omaha area.  There are 9 stations in all, plus another that shows the pollen levels if you are an allergy sufferer.

       That is how and why I started Metro Area R/C Flying.

       Later I realized that it would help the clubs when making "Event Flyers" and planning the dates for an event, if they could go back and see when they had it the year before.  They could also see last year's "Event Flyer" and that would help them design a new "Flyer" for the current year.  I added archive pages for the schedule for that reason.  Their are eight archive pages altogether, for both the Metro Schedule & the Out-Of-Area-Schedule; you can find them in the navigation links at the top of each page.  Here is a link to the 2009 Schedule Archives:  (2009 Schedule Archives)

       I also added an Out-Of-Area Schedule so that flyers that traveled to out-of-town events could also benefit from an event schedule. (Out-Of-Area Schedule) 

       Some of the clubs had no website of their own, so I made websites for five of the area R/C Clubs which include:  bellevuerc.com  cobrasrcclub.com  frontierflyers.com  performanceflyers.com  westernfrontdawnpatrol.com

       I also send email notices to 457 Area RC Flyers for upcoming events that are requested by local clubs.  If you have an event such as an auction, fun fly or meeting that you want announced, just email me and I will send it out.  Click on email link on the left. or (Click Here)

      It's turned out to be a lot of work and I've done it now for 9 years.  I hope that the area flyers value what I do.  I hope that it will help bring all the clubs together so we can become one R/C family.

I publish Metro Area R/C Flying to make a central web site for all the area R/C clubs, not to replace individual club sites, but to tie all of them together and promote growth and interaction between clubs. The most important service of the web site is to post the Metro Area Schedule. The schedule lists all the events for all the clubs in one location so that R/C flyers can see what events are available in the area and plan ahead. I believe it will also help the area clubs to work out their schedules so that one clubs events, will not conflict, with another's. The next most important service is to provide a Map Page that has maps to all the events, meetings, dinners and parties. Right after that comes the Newsletter Page which lists all of the different club newsletters. Reading other club newsletters lets members see what others are offering in the area that they are interested in and promotes interaction between clubs. Perhaps an even more important item is the New Flyers Page that gives new members information they need to join a club and become part of our R/C community. This is your web site, if you would like to show-off your newest plane, or share an experience, you can E-Mail pictures and articles to me. There’s an E-Mail Link on every page.
