<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've been trying the 18x10 prop on my Mintor to
see if it can be a cheaper alternative to the repitched 3 blader. So far
so good, but man is it big looking on the front of the plane. I've
finally arrived at the magic 25 flight barrier and my symph has most kinks
worked out and exorcised gremlins. If I wasn't building them for other
people, I'd have another going by now. </FONT></DIV>

<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>
