I think it is fabulous Kris!! It's refreshing to have a different look from time to time. I especially like your updates on the main page as well as the update of the club address.

Most of all I like your new program to feature a different airplane of the month. It's an awesome idea and I see several people have already responded. I think this will add value to the club. You are a great leader.

I also appreciate the new sponsorship from Baumann Floats. Hopefully being on our website will gain them some recognition in the aviation community.

And I can't fail to mention the photos of project "ARTIKA". Hopefully this will raise awareness of the engine mount problems with the 175 and 172's of the era and will potentially avoid others having the same problem.

Do I get a discount on my next membership renewal for being the first to respond? Just kidding, I really do like the changes though.

Since I'm 2nd do I get a pro-rated discount? JK. Excellent Erik. I should have some info to you this coming week about fly-ins.

Oh yeah, the specs overview page lists the GO-300 turning an 82" prop at a max of 2400rpms. Bump it to 3200rpms.

I think it looks great also. We appreciate the work you put into it Kris!

I like the new look, definately find the colors match the era. The new set up is too big for my screen, is there any setting i can change on my computer to help it fit the screen.

My original prop was 84x67 and motor turns 3200rpm with the reduction taking the prop to 2400 rpm.

Ha, you got it Ken! The 82" is a mistake. But it really does turn 2400RPM, Tyler I only meant prop RPM not Engine RPM.

Ken you need to bump your screen resolution up 1 step if you can. Most computers 5 years old or less can do higher screen resolution than 1024X768. If that is the max then there is nothing you can do but upgrade your video card on your PC or get a newer PC.

I have the same problem when viewing the site from my Tablet PC (800X600) or my old laptop- (1024X768) But my home computer is 1440X900.

Thanks for the heads up on the prop error I will fix that.

Hey I recovered about 150 photos that were lost to the netherlands in the Gallery last night and re-uploaded them to the Gallery in an Archive Galllery.

I also changed the Avatar settings so you can upload larger, more viewable ones if you want.

Great job Kris.
Congratulations on recovering the lost photos.

Hey Kris, the new website is really impressive. If I change my screen resolution to get it all, then about 75% of my other favorite websites are about 75% screen, so I compromise. Most of my favorites are full screen, but the 175 site is still a little oversize, but I can tolerate that, and still enjoy the website. Thanks for all your good work!

Guys how do you like the plane of the month page on our home page? too simple? or just right? Keep in mind I only have as much info/pics as people send in.
