Announcements
Make sure we have the right email address!
IPMS/USA Members, our new membership system is off to a good start, but like everything new, there are some new things to be aware of. Here are a couple of things that have come to our attention:
- When you visit IPMSUSA.org and follow the links to our "Membership Home" page, or if you see a link in an email from us, you might notice that the address ipmsu28.wildapricot.org sometimes appears. This is a legitimate address. Wild Apricot is our partner for the new membership and event system, so you will see their address often. You might also notice "Powered by Wild Apricot Membership Software at the bottom of the new pages.
- The old membership system was in place for many years, and some of the information in it is out of date. One of the most important parts of the new system is that it allows us to communicate with you via email. If you aren't getting emails about the new system, or haven't received confirmation of a renewal or new membership, we most likely have a bad email address for you. If you suspect we have a bad email address for you, please send your email address, name and IPMS/USA number (if you have it) to manager@ipmsusa.org, and we will update your email for you. We want to make sure you get important communications coming out about your membership and the 2022 IPMS/USA National Convention in Omaha this summer.
Don't hesitate to reach out to manager@ipmsusa.org or treasurer@ipmsusa.org with any questions you have about our membership system. We are here to help!
David Lockhart
President, IPMS/USA

CH-47A Chinook
January 14, 2022Reviewed by: Jarrod Booth
Company: Hobby Boss
The Chinook helicopter needs little introduction and has been a mainstay transport of many armies, air forces and navies around the globe. This Hobby Boss kit represents the first operational aircraft, which I understand only the United States used. The C-47A Chinook helicopter served in the Vietnam conflict. -
G.91Y "Yankee"
January 13, 2022Reviewed by: Chris Smith
Company: Aviation Collectibles
As with most fighter aircraft, they tend to get heavier as the user needs more capability than the original design can deliver. In this case, the light weight G.91 needed more range, loiter time and weapons. Enter the G.91Y. Going from a single engine to two engines, the G.91Y nearly doubled its empty and max take off weights while increasing range and navigational capabilities.
