Getting Ready

I am getting ready to head to Chicago area this weekend for the Great Lake Cup competition and the US Team Practice. While they will not be flying our events that we will be flying at the World Championships, I will get a chance to talk with our team matesand meet with competitors from 7 other countries. It should be a fun time. Here's hoping for good weather!

Public Missiles

We got these fantastic molded rail guides from Public Missiles. Thanks so much for the donation!

Bob Smith CA

I have been using the Bob Smith "Gold" CAs for the past few years - I like the quality and low fumes that the brand has. Charlee Smith was gracious enough to donate a supply of CA and kicker to get us through our building needs for the world championships. Thank you so much!

Aero Pack Help

We were lucky enough to receive a donation of some 29mm Aero Pack 29mm motor retainers for use with our shuttle main engines. I have used these in the past and found them to be a fail-safe way to keep motors in big, important models. Thanks so much!

CAD Help!

A special thank you goes out to Jim Faliveno of General CADD Products (www.generalcadd.com) who saved me hours of painstaking work by converting some old drawings into a newer format. The help is really appreciated.

Each of the Scale and Scale Altitude models must be submitted with a 1:1 workshop drawing. The file I had was in a slightly different scale and needs to be slightly resized. If I had to re-draw the 24" x 48" drawing, it would take me a month. Instead, all I have to do is clean up some fonts and change the scale slightly. That's a big help, as I already feel the pressure of being behind where I should be.

Family Help - Thanks!

Much thanks to my brother Miles, who contributed via PayPal. We sure appreciate the support of all our family and friends in this project.

Another Thank You - Performance Hobbies!

We sure would like to thank Ken Allen of Performance Hobbies, who graciously donated to the cause with some F25-4 motors. This will let us start test flying soon!
