Attachments
===========

From time to time we publish attachments - with photos or plans
that you submit. These are sent as a separate e-mail with just
the attachments. This is a compromise solution for those with
e-mail systems who cannot get attachments.

We sent out a recent supplement with attachments. While it was being
sent I noticed some strange error messages. This may mean that
some of did not get all the attachments. If you think
that you are missing some  .. or any SEN back number for that matter
toy can get them from the web site. The most frequent ones are 
under the current news section.

It is better that image attachment not ne .bmp or .tif files
as these ten to be very big. For images .gif ot .jpg are
more compact.

I thought I registered but I do not get any news on my e-mail address as =
some do. What am I doing wrong? john irwin- email address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

[John, In the pas we did nor send the SEM by e-mail to everyone who
registered. This was because we felt that some people may not
want to get the e-amil. We realize this may have caused
confusion. So we have changed the registration form to ask
if you want SEN by e-mail. I have added you to the e-mail list
as is manifiested by you getting this]

Re the enquiry for catapault gliders from Mark Johnson, e-mail me your

 easy to construct delta design with an impressive performance.

K&B

I found a source for the K&B needle valves. Orange Blossom Hobbies in Miami
Fl. was most helpful. The nipple part is now used to water cool K&B marine
engines. The needle valve part  with lock nut is used as a needle valve seat
{what else?]. The tap for these is 10-32. So if your engine isn't getting
enough air you can elimate the sleave with the cute little hole by using
this setup.

Roger,

Please let me know your address to help out.  This is my link to the outside 
world (outside of Evansville), and it is appreciated very much.  I believe 
that the web presence you maintain is directly responsible for keeping me 
involved in the sport, and I would bet, several others.

Thanks again,

New Zealand - Australia  Trans Tasman results ,200
===================================================

Roger,   
             This year the Biennial Trans Tasman contest was held at
             Marong, 
which is a small town about 10 miles West of Bendigo, in Victoria, out in
some very lovely farming country ( snakes, what snakes, I never saw 
any, but that possibly was because the Crocodiles got them first!) , just
funning guys.

The weather was fine but we were treated to some very cold Southerly 
winds which gave me the impression that they had towed an Iceberg up 
from the Antarctic  and parked it in Port Phillip bay, but the weather did
improve aal the time and on the day we left it was absolutely perfect.

         Craig King had his 4th round time disqualified due to a 
misdemeanour, otherwise the NZ scores would have been even better.

Propellors
==========

Can anyone out there advise me about the "arniston" type propellor, whereby
just one blade cuts the water each rev, (usually a two bladed prop fixed at
22 degrees to horizontal.
thanks,  Gary

[Gary - this is really about airplanes not boats - however there may
be a webbed footed reader who can help you.]
