Maybe this thread could be used as a kind of bibliography of terms / abbreviations used on the forum.

LOL = Laugh out loud............

[Pij]

from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lol

LOL (also written lol and any other combination) is a common element of Internet slang used, historically, on Usenet but now widespread to other forms of computer-mediated communication, and even spread to face-to-face communication. It is an abbreviation for "laughing out loud"[1][2] or "laugh out loud".[3] "LOL" is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular laughter, as text, including initialisms such as "ROTFL" ("roll(ing) on the floor laughing"),[4][5] a more emphatic expressions of laughter, and "BWL" ("bursting with laughter"), above which there is "no greater compliment" according to Magid.[6] (Other unrelated expansions include the less common "lots of luck" or "lots of love".)[7]

There is a good segment on this in the Movie: LIFT TICKET

Power Scale Soaring Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Power Scale Soaring, or PSS is a fast growing dimension in Radio Controlled model slope soaring. PSS is all about building and flying scale model gliders of full sized jet, rocket or piston powered aircraft.

These basic guidelines enable the modeller to construct slope soarers based on a huge variety of full sized aircraft. This is demonstrated by the vast array and diversity of model designs seen soaring over the years.

PSS began in the mid 1970's, when a group of modellers at Moel Famau in North Wales were buzzed by a full sized DC-3 Dakota, flying low level in the valley below. This sight inspired members of the Clwyd Soaring Association to try and convert traditionally powered models into slope soarers, and soon after the first models were flying successfully off the slope.

In 1986 the Power Scale Soaring Association, or PSSA was formed by Alan Hulme as an association to unite PSS modellers on a worldwide basis through the media of a quarterly magazine. These publications give news on forthcoming PSS fly-ins world wide and report on recently held events. They also enable members to submit ideas and articles on the design and construction of models, as well as allowing them to show off their new creations.

Today the PSSA is an internationally recognised association,[citation needed] with active members in countries as far afield as Australia, Barbados, Belgium, France, Germany, Norway, Switzerland and the USA.

Thanks Steve.
I did search on Wikipedia it but must have done it the wrong way. Good thread as well.
