Bill Hartill's Book
From Vin Morgan
Hello SEN,
I would like to say that I bought my copy of Bill’s ‘World Free Flight Review’ in 1981. I found it informative and inspirational. I felt its descriptions of models, contests and travel provided a global view of all the best things about free flight.

Hi Roger!
I read the Free Flight Quarterly with the article on Reid Simpson's Talon. It brought back many memories. The '59 Nats was my first nats and where relationships with flyers that has lasted these many year. I still have a Jasco Talon kit. The box has pretty much fallen apart but the contents are still in tact. Hi to Reid and "thanks for the memories".

2008 AmCup Conclusion
Turn-out to the KO was low but this historic last contest of the year did make for two first place changes in the 2008 AmCup season. It is an easy story to tell for F1A, F1C, E and F1P in that no flyers showed up so the 2008 winners are Rene Limberger (F1A), Don Chessons (F1C), Peter Brocks (F1E) and Cody Secor (F1P). Jean Pailet flew F1H and F1J, winning H which hopped him over is buddy Bob Sifleet into third but without the needed bonus points to take the AmCup lead from Mike McKeever-- F1H winner. Tom Kerr won F1J but there was no serious challenge to Faust Parker's AmCup F1J first place. Jim Bradley beat Eddie Vanlandingham and moved up to into fifth knocking Dick Wood off the podium when Blake Jensen accepts his first place AmCup F1B awards. However, Eddie won F1G at KO and the AmCup knocking Tiffany Odell out of her long held first place position in F1G. Wrapping up the year was Dan Berry coming from behind, winning KO F1Q for his fourth win and capturing AmCup F1Q first place position. Results become final at the end of Jan so let me know of any corrections.
South Regional in Eloy AZ is just 2 weeks away and the start of the 2009 AmCup and the Hartill Trophy competition. We have already received several $50 Hartill Trophy entry fees, the cut off date for this two year, seven of sixteen contest competition July 4 2009.
A recent SEN had the2009 MaxMen entry from which includes the SCAT AmCup Banquet entry form. The banquet is on Feb 14, 2009, Valentine’s Day, and so as in the past all ladies will get a red rose. We have been preparing for our SCAT 50 year anniversary celebration with special edition SCATTER theme T-shirt and will have"1961-1965 SCATTERs-- The Founder's Years" CD's for sell. As I have been scanning the SCATTER originals, I've been amazed at the content and all the more appreciative of the work that Bill Hartill, Ken Sykora and Craig Cusick and the rest of the early SCAT members did producing this volume of work with typewriter, drafting pencils and mimeograph technology. Don Hutchinson is coming in from Texas, and we hope Bill Hartill Jr will be able to make it as well. This will be a banquet you do not want to miss. The new location at the Elk's lodge provides plenty of room so make your plans to come.
Congratulation to our 2008 AmCup winner's. The first place winners please write "AmCup winner" on the banquet form for your complementary banquet dinner. Also remember that sports coat and tie is the standard for the first place winners at the banquet. 2007 winners, please shine up the trophies and make arrangement to get them to the banquet. Off to Eloy Az for the shart to the 2009 season!
