<DIV>Nat.. An FYI for you.. There was a time when we used to be very
concerned with how stiff our mounts were as we gained more power/rpm when our 2
cycles were mounted to hard solid mount. The fiber filled mounts would cause a
loss of a few hundred rpm in the worst case scenarios.</DIV>

<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 -

you 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>

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>

More of us will attend contests and... "What's that noise? Oh,it's my

in.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
