Ideas about the World Champs
============================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
This is my view of the World Championships 2001:
And what about us women?
At the beginning of our relationship I made a promise to my husband. yes,
OK, I will go with you wherever you want. And so it was. A promise is a
promise.
He flies model airplanes, and what do I do?
When I was I child, adults used to tell me I had ants in the pants. I could
never stay in the same place for long. I always had to do something. Maybe
this - my inner life - is fortunate for my husband. Good for me, too?
I like lots of sports - windsurfing, swimming, bike riding, roller-skating,
walking, hiking, skiing and cross-country skiing. I also like doing nothing.
Competitions. Ha, ha, ha.
My husband flies and I go and retrieve his model planes. Ha, ha, ha. My
first contacts with model airplanes were:
Lesson #1: How can I even hold this fragile thing in my hands?
Lesson #2: How will I be able to find it?
Lesson #3: Which of the many planes lying on the field is his?
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness. I walked and walked and walked. There was no
end to the big field. I went too far, I didn't go far enough, I went in the
wrong direction. I saw lots of models, and they all looked the same.
My feelings - I was too hot, too cold, hungry, thirsty, it was too windy,
too sunny, too rainy. Everybody was far away. I wanted to go home!
My first success.
I returned with a model - but not his.
I returned with his model, but some parts were missing.
Ladies, don't be afraid of this, do not take it too seriously.
Practice makes perfect.
Hmmm... Today I know:
- Stopwatch
- Binoculars
- Walky talky
- GPS
- Direction
- Distance
- Landing position
OK, OK, don't laugh at me. I know it is not a lot of knowledge about model
airplane flying. But enough for me to pick up this sweet balsawood
construction by walking, bicycling, motor-biking, roller-skating,
cross-country skiing. I combine my hobbies with my husband's.
Doing nothing.
There are also days when I do absolutely nothing. I only watch the good- or
bad-flying models for a short time or a long time. But wherever I am, I
always keep looking for you, my fellow ladies.
How you
- are timekeeping
- help your husbands
- look for your husbands
- play with your children
- read books
- sit in the sun
- sit in the shade
- enjoy a drink
- relax
I am so happy you are here to support your husbands.
Nobody is perfect
Or
I like to nag
After spending a night in an airplane without sleep we arrive at 10 am at
Motel 6, Lost Hills. What would make me happy now is - not my husband, an
exception - but a shower and a bed. But there's no room at 10am. Only at 12
noon.
And what a room: A smokers' room (we are non-smokers), a loud room -by
the stairs and by the pool with people gathering outside our door. Dark,
because if we opened the curtains everybody would look in.
My husband feels responsible for this prison cell, tired as he is, and
suffers my nagging. Poor husband, like all husbands.
A couple of days later we were able to change to a better room. Now we had
good air (nonsmoking), enough light, I could even see a tree from my bed.
Nothing more to nag about. tee hee hee...
Applause for you - America
Thank you America for the World Championships 2001.
Thank you to everybody who
- organized the WCh 2001
- worked and helped professionally
- supported us on the field, from their homes - from all over the world
- flew
- came - at all
- as a lone team member
- even by wheel chair
- ignoring any health problem and age
- bringing their children
My special thanks go to you, my dear ladies, who could not be with us on the
field for various reasons (money, visa, time, health, pregnancy, dependants,
no more holiday) but who supported their husbands, sons, grandchildren,
fathers, brothers, grandfathers, partners, and friends from home. This is my
applause for you. Thank you very much.
All's well that ends well
Like in a fairy tale everything has an end. In a good story, there's a
good ending.
Here it was the banquet night with everybody happy, even if some were
disappointed. Never mind. Sport is sport.
I walked with my husband through a very nice festive room, the floor
carpeted with a marvelous green lawn, a perfect jazz band on stage, and
happy competitors' faces. But also, yes, I could not stand the look in those
sad eyes where the question could easily be read: Why is my woman not here
with me?
Please, dear ladies, come and join this crazy flying family too to make your
husbands happier if the reasons for your absence no longer apply. Life is
too short for not being together, not being fair to each other. Don't allow
your husband to spend too much time with his models without you.
Nothing is better than to be a happy wife with a happy husband in your own
family, but also in this crazy model flying family you inherited with him.

Tan II status
==============
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Dear FAI Customer,
We are currently out of good 1/8", 3/16", and 1/4" contest rubber. We
do have some 3/32" and 1/16" that are good.
Due to the collapse of the rubber thread business for golf balls, we
currently have two factories downsizing into one factory at a new location.
The net result is that the next production lot will not be available until
approximately November 30th. This order will be for 1/8" only, and if it meets
specs, the other sizes will be available at the end of the year, or
early in January 2002.
Good News: Our same Tan II Q/C and sales management team will be in
place at the new location.
Bad News: Due to the lower demand for a critical synthetic additive
( golf ball related ), we can expect a noticeable increase in cost of Tan II.
Our factory or we do not know the amount of this increase at this time.

it looked as if it had been closed down. He was going to verify the problem
when he returned to Odessa. The address is www.img.ru and his email is
