the fine print

This web site is designed and maintained by me James (Jim) Robertson, Jr.  I created this site as a service to the members of the SVHGPA and any others with an interest in the sports of foot launched free flight. It is my effort to make a small contribution back to this sport that has given me so much. I do not receive any monetary or other compensation for the links, banners and ad's. They are here because I feel that they may be of interest to the above mentioned persons.

No club funds are used to maintain this site. SVHGPA membership dues go into the SVHGPA treasury for maintenance of club flying sites and landowner relations  and other uses approved by the SVHGPA only! They are not for joining this web-site! The web site is free for all to use.  ENJOY !

Thanks for visiting and if you like the site please pass the word along to your flying buddies.

BOO WAA !!!
