Rennlist, is it worth it Options

Is joining Rennlist worth it for owners of 914's?

Like many others here, I was a long time rennlist member. And at that time, it was a great resource. I had had my 73 for about 6mths when someone at work mentioned rennlist to me. I got a lot of help as I did various maintenance things and I was definitely way more successful at it than I had any right to expect. And I owe a debt to many of the folks who coached me in those days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

At that time, the email format worked really well for me too -- I was flying a lot, so downloading 50 message and reading them on the plane was perfect for me.

I also thought the 914 list was pretty unique, as compared to the 911 list. We didn't often discuss waxing techniques or the use of toothbrushes in detailing.

But the addition of pics is a huge step forward. In those days, I could scan pictures and point to my local web pages to share them -- this is big when you're trying to figure out something! Now with digcams so cheap and a web medium, the email list scheme doesn't compete very well.

So I think YaRoon said it well -- for today's technology and dynamic, 914club is in the sweet spot. If I start flying again (which looks likely), I'll have to figure out something different. (hopefully, the airline Co's will have deployed web access by then (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif))
