Title: USSMA Championship Pins Collection
Post by: samwright on Fri, 04/19/13, 11:12 AM
Hello Members
I am collecting all the USsMA Championship Pins to assemble a display for our upcoming RCX Expo Scale Display June 1-2, 2013 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
I know the first  Championship was in 1975 as I was there, however, I do not know when the pins actually started.

I have from 1998 up to 2012 and in that set I am missing 2001-2006-2008-2009- & 2010. I had some years filled in by Mike Peck. If there were pins before 1998 I would be interested in those as well. I also have a 1985 brass USSMA Buckle that I have no history on and would like to know more about it and add it to the collection.
I will offer a free 1-Year (6 Issues) subscription to Scale Aviator International online digital scale magazine.  (www.scaleaviatorint.com (http://www.scaleaviatorint.com)) Not a plug for my little publishing venture, but a way of saying thanks in place of cash payment.
Once I have this work finished on a laser engraved hard wood plaque, I will be glad to "Loan" it to USSMA Qualifiers and Championships for display. I would pay shipping and Insurance one way, and the event would ship it back to me or to the next event. I will have a professional box made for it as well.
Here is wishing and thanks,
Sam

Hello Sam & All,

I will look at the pins I have.

Your little publishing venture is aw-sum, easy to use, print pages from and all the information that's available, links to suppliers and I don't even have a I-pad. Well done and what a good avenue to support Scale Aero-Modelling. It's the only magazine being published that is dedicated to scale aero-modelling.

I hope you get lots of support from Scale Masters.

Thank You for supporting Scale Masters and Scale Aero-Modelling.
