<P>Hi Richard:</P>
<P>I have two good engines (Mintor 140 and OS 140 RX). Both are working great and I don't think I need an additional engine. Also, I have an OS 160 in a Dave Patick Edge that could become a back up. I just waiting for switching to electric when waters get clear.</P>
<P>Thanks for the information,<BR></P>
<P>Vicente</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No, numerous issues kept me home. Charlie was going but I understand he doesn't feel up to it just yet. Orland's luck hasn't been sterling either--so he's staying home. McFarland isn't flying much right now. So what you're saying; the KC bunch are duds this year?! If you're interested in that Mintor 140 engine with the new stuff, Orland's phone line is acting up--so he's not getting data and you can hardly understand him over the static. The repair folks are on the way. His direct line is 816-353-8667--try later. You're right, this has been quiet the last few days.</FONT></DIV>
