    New Database Website

    Funny enough, I had planned on posting an update today, so thanks for asking! I've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes, building out the administrative side of the site. While much of that can't be seen, it's crucial to the maintainability of the database. I'm making sure there is a...

    New Database Website

    Brief update for everyone: Photo uploading has begun! Thank you to weisling53 for providing the first one. I'm continuously working to improve the interface to make it quick and easy.

    Yes, that's on my todo list. Yesterday, actually, I attempted to add a feature that would allow import from... that other database website. But, unfortunately, it's so poorly coded that the pages are not parse-able without a significant amount of extra work. So I tabled the idea for now...

    New Database Website

    Many models do have release months, but some are missing. Crowd-sourcing will be key to getting a complete dataset. And I have no plans to add a forum to MADb, if that's what you meant. From what I can tell, MAF is doing a great job at that.

    Hello All, Call me crazy if you want, but I am developing a new database website for all model aircraft - dubbed none other than Model Aircraft Database, or MADb for short. The mission is simple: Create a modern, community driven service to find and track model aircraft. Current features: A...
