Inside the January 1980 newsletter

The January issue introduces a new chapter administration led by Greg Reynolds, with Bill Hawkins and Terry Elmore, and proposes alternating contests and technique demonstrations. Members are reminded about dues and the Model of the Year competition, while a “small air forces” quiz, kit rumors, want ads, and a bulletin board invite wider participation.

Reviews cover the Scale Model Development Corporation 1/72 V-1, Monogram's 1/48 F-4C/D Phantom II, and Hasegawa's IAI Kfir C-2. A publication notice evaluates the Russian Aviation Research Group Bulletin as a reference source. Together the club planning and product assessments mark the beginning of the chapter's revived monthly newsletter sequence.
