really do not mind <FONT color=#000000>the P-51s, Spitfires, or Extra

membership and based on that justifies own agenda. And when it comes
to purchasing power I think there is a one add (1 inch by 2 inch) for the FF
timers in the Model Aviation - although not sure how much they are cannot
be much for a spring driven timer. </FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

gives?......It is the GOD syndrome. (Good Ole Days). The AMA started with FF

size=2>What we need to do as a SIG is send in 25-50 photos of pattern planes,
all at the same time for that section up front that always shows what the AMA
membership is building, which somehow always ends up being a P-51, a
Spitfire,an Extra 300 or some dorky-weird-flying trashcan or some such.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>We also need to include a write up about the
plane that is identical such as, "Pattern saved my life".</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT

now, need 48 more-everyone send it in December.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Gray

size=2><BR>Ok, have you all read the latest Model Aviation editorial about how
the free<BR>flight and control line folks constitute 10% of all modelers and
thus should<BR>get increased attention in the magazine and other SIGs
(including precision<BR>aerobatics) will have to give up monthly columns to
bimonthly ones. I<BR>belong to three clubs with approximately 80, 120,
and 160 members. Very few<BR>may have a free flight glider/plane but
have never flown it at the field,<BR>same goes for control line. If you
look at their NATs the same names<BR>appear in most of the categories and even
then the whole listing of names is<BR>shorter than the Masters list form the
pattern NATs. <BR><BR>What gives .............................. ??<BR><BR>my
