Fairchild Club Forum

As some of you have noticed, there's been a recent uptick in newly registered accounts posting spam posts all over the board.

Sorry for never replying to this thread. Information on ordering the DVD can be found in this post.

The F-24 had cockpit knobs fabricated out of Tan or Brown Bakelite back in

With this change, there is a new "Digests" tab in your User Control Panel (click on your name in the upper right-hand corner) and you can get email summaries of new posts on the board.
