SEN
This is SEN or SCAT Electronic News. It is a newsletter about FAI Free Flight and comes out on reasonably frequent but irregular schedule. SCAT is the Southern California Aero Team, a model airplane club founded in 1959 that is interested in FAI Free Flight model airplanes.

SEN is sent to people who are fly or are interested in this type of model airplane.  There is no charge for SEN.  If you got this and do not want it, you can automatically unsubscribe by going to the in at the bottom of the newsletter or you can reply telling us that you do not want it.  There are about 1000 subscribers world wide.

While SCAT’s main focus is FAI Free Flight, we also publish articles about other aspects of Free Flight that may be of interest to our readers.

SEN depends on contributions from all of our readers, it does not matter if you are a World Champ , contest organizer, supporter or beginner with a basic question everything is welcome  just reply SEN with what you want to say.

SEN is written in English but our readers are from countries all around the world. If English is not your native language don’t worry as people are interest in what you have to say, not how well you can write English.

Contest results are best submitted using Microsoft Excel.  SEN in printed in a simple format normally without photos.

We are interested in contest announcements and results, technical articles, comments about the rules, for sale and wanted announcements, in fact anything about Free Flight model airplanes.

Back issues of SEN are  archived on the web site sen.faifreeflight.org.
