My view on this which has gone right back to day 1 is I refuse to charge anyone a fee to maybe find out something through the use of the site that may save their life. THAT is what this site was set up to do, help aviators to learn from each other's experiences. I personally think that if I charged people a set fee for that, then I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. It would discriminate against those that can't afford it by maybe, just maybe, using their life as a "your life for a fee". What kind of person would I be if I did that, no, any donation is so much appreciated.

Yes, all content as it is now will be moved to Aircraft Pilots although if I do get time I may clean up some of the old posts from 20+ years ago

Update, forum software v5 is not playing nice with our current setup so lots of work to be done there. Evaluation of shop software completed and decision is to try and stick with our current software. Will keep you informed.

Also Clear Prop has just about every nut, bolt fastener and clamp...aviation grade...here in stock...and many different gauges of WIRE and transponder kits...just ask for anything you need. In fact, doing so helps this site that you get for free than to just recommend going elsewhere

Thanks for your comments guys, yes the site has probably cost me around $100,000 over the last 22+ years as you only need to look at the hosting costs per year which is around $3,000 a year, slightly lower this year though, then there is all the software costs per year over all those years. For example the software that will do the integration of the forums and the shop is costing $800 Thanks to those that are advising of their incorrect email addresses so I can fix before the move. Anyway, an update at the moment is 2 things happening...1. a decision of the shop software, what we currently use or another solution and 2. the creation of a local environment for a copy of the site and the upgrade of the forum software and all the addon software solutions to Invision version 5, testing and manual code changes. I will keep you all informed

Hi All, Recreational Flying (.com) will soon come to an end...BUT, Aircraft Pilots (.com) will be born. This site has outlived most other sites around the world having been going for over 22 years now providing a great, informative, helpful, vast resource to all recreational aviators but it is time to be more comprehensive in helping all types of aviators, no matter what you all fly. The features that are available to you cover the needs of all, it is not just a Forum site, but features like Groups, Blogs, different types of Media like Articles, Movies, Books etc, ALL types of Aircraft in the Aircraft Section and the Resources section provides tools for every kind of pilot. Also Clear Prop (.com.au) will also be moving to Aircraft Pilots (.com) and currently a Single Sign On (SSO) is being developed to provide a single registration and login system to both the forums etc and shop. When it all happens both Recreational Flying (.com) and Clear Prop (.com.au) will have redirects to Aircraft Pilots (.com) to make it easier for users to make the transition. HOWEVER, if your Email Address in your account settings here at Recreational Flying (.com) is no longer active, incorrect or not working in any way you will be LOCKED OUT of the new site. To check your email address, click your avatar at the top of the main menu and then click "Account Settings": Thanks and stay tuned for some updates

Come on guys, tell me, is there any reason why you will not support Clear Prop. Clear Prop has had these things in stock for years: For Aircraft :: Instruments :: Cigarette Lighter socket with dual USB sockets WWW.CLEARPROP.COM.AU Cigarette Lighter socket with dual USB socketsA Cigarette Lighter socket that comes with a push in dual USB socket insert Can be used... If you don't support Clear Prop then I will have to close Recreational Flying as it is getting to costly to run

Myself and this site has been there and done that which resulted in opening the door to the business people who stole our Association from us

Hi All, again I am seriously considering combining the Recreational Flying site with the Off topic Social Australia site. If I do then it would look something like this: Off Topic forums in the Forum List: Separate Whats New (Unread), 1 for Recreational Flying and 1 for Social Australia: Recreational Flying: Social Australia So, what are your thoughts? Thanks
