Yes!  There are several topics which repeat a few times a year.  Here are
some more off the top of my head:

        What's a good building surface?
        How do I attach a clear plastic canopy?
        Should I buy a OS-40FP or a more powerful first engine?
        How do I eliiminate jitter due to long servo leads?
        Is there a home-built circuit for a "go-light"?
        Do Nicad batteries need to be cycled?
        Can I restore a dead nicad cell?
        Do CA and Epoxy glues emit harmful fumes?
        Should I learn to fly planes before helicopters?
        Are the rocket powered gliders any good?
        What's the best flight simulator?
        How does a wing produce lift?
        What's a good book on flying?  On helis?  On building?
        Who are Iskandar Taib, Dave Svoboda, and Steve Bixby? :-)

I didn't actually read the FAQ, so my apolly-wogies if any of the above
are already in there.  I've never seen anyone answer a question on this
newsgroup with, "read the FAQ!"  I'm going to go read it now :-).
