RC MODEL AIRPLANE LINK PAGE

About the links posted here

If you’ve spent time surfing the web for R/C aircraft related link portals or web pages, chances are you found more dead links on the page than live ones. It is frustrating to say the least, but typical of a website that looks like it was first loaded up in 1996 and hasn’t been updated since. I’ve linked to sites that have been around for a while, some new ones, and linked some of my personal favorites. Conduct business with them at your own risk. As for the number of dead links on other sites, it’s anyones guess. Web sites in the R/C world can disappear quicker than chocolate chip cookies at a Grateful Dead concert! To report dead links or recommend a site for addition to this link page send an email to webmaster@tslidehaven.com
