<DIV>Eric you have flown far more airplanes than than most. I, for one, would
appreciate your opinion regarding selection of motor mounts. Do 2 strokes
present more problems in getting good top and bottom isolalation
? Happy New Year -

made it into 2004. FAI pilots will be flying P-05 and maybe unknowns and F-05.
Masters pilots will probably be flying their schedule for the last time.
Intermediate pilots will still be exiting down-wind, but may get a snap to do
in 2005. A lot depends upon how progressive our AMA committee sees our
future.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

class=153213113-01012004> Two cycles will continue to be a
force in pattern but the 4-c's will fight back with cubes!. Electric power
will continue to tempt us in in a most tantalizingly expensive manner.
New pattern plane designs will help us fly better and make it as hard as ever
for judges to separate us. New servos will give us more rudder power and
better resolution to amplify our skills and of course our
errors.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>

cooperate this year. We will practice in February in District-1. We will be
ready for the Nationals. We will judge spins and snaps with consistency. More
of us will attend contests and... "What's that noise? Oh,it's my hotel-wake-up
call".... Must go flying to get my January flight in.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
