<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes...kind of a TX, LA 402 group grudge match...we
had a fun year and close competition throughout....just wanted to get together
and fly one last time this year....and heckle one another!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lance,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Richard is really flying his new Aries very
well. He nearly won the 5th round at LARKS with less than 10 flights on
the plane. I s</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>aw Mike H. and Don R. fly their
Symphony's at LARKS....wow, that plane is incredibly refined in the air.
Mike is using the new apc18x10pn on an OS140 and it really flies well on that
prop. I think Don is flying his with a 140L. It looks like
power is not a problem even though that YS looks small in there. Looks
like you guys at Aeroslave have a truly world class machine that rolls as good
as the Aries and carries a distinctive widebody form.</FONT></DIV>
