SCAT Electronic News November 6
To : groupscatm Rubber News
==========
News from FAI Model Supply is that the full shipment of the October 97
rubber has either arrived or is just about to and John will begin shipping to
those who have placed orders "real soon now ".
America's Cup 97
================
Jim Parker promises to have an up to date points standing available just
after the Patterson Contest in two weeks. After this contest only one event,
the King Orange remains.
The prize giving is planned for the Saturday night of the Max Men as usual.
World Cup
=========
The last event of the FF World Cup 97 was scheduled for last week end
near Bern, Switzerland. We have not heard any results, so if any
subscribers know what happend please e-mail us.
World Air Games
===============
A press release from the FAI declared the World Air games held in
Turkey to have been a great sucess. I guess that the other disiplines had
better luck than Free Flight. Martin Dilly's report in FFn was not very
complimentary at all. A comment from a Ukrainian was more diplomatic
but said "that the timer keepers were not sportmen [i.e. modellers]".
Apparantly there were numerous timing and scoring errors. The FAI is
going ahead and planning another World Air Games, although they did not
give a date.
SCAT's Contests for 98
===================
Tentative dates for the SCAT Contests for next year plus a possible date
for the Team Selection Contest. The details [date and site] of the Team
Selection Contest has not been annouced so the date was put as a place
holder.
