Nats Stories
============
Most of the side stories coming out of the Nats were
retrival related. I'm suprised that F1A team memeber
Steve Spence got any flying done because a bunch of people related
as to how he helped them find their models. Local [to me] flyer
Tom Laird showed excessive connection to his other hobby of automobiles
by finally finding his F1B on the roof of the Muncie Transmission
Factory roof 9 miles from the flying site. He triangulated with this
Walston and then had to convince the guards to let him to get the model
from the roof. Another SCAT member , Ernesto Busnelli found his
F1A 13 miles from the field, 40 feet up in a tree. I hear that
Jim Walston was doing good business !

Hi Roger,
I am pleased to report that the $11,000 budget deficit that the ' 99
Free Flight team was facing has been erased.
On behalf of the Advanced Aeromodel Engineering Society I want to thank
all those whose help made this project a success. Thanks to Bob Stalick
and the NFFS for their cooperation in allowing AAES to take advantage of
their tax exempt status so that tax deductible donations could be made.
And, a big THANKS to the individuals and organizations for their
generous contributions. These include:
Bob Klipp
Marvin Mace
Christopher Parkyn
Jim Bradley
Hardy Broderson
Chris Matsuno
Bob Perkins
Gil Morris
Bill Vanderbeek

Thermaleers (St. Louis )
"Big Al's FAI Shootout"

Now with the money problems behind them the Team is free to concentrate
on WINNING. GOOD Luck and "Bring home the hardware".

Hello,
Do you know where I might be able to purchase a block of balsa 65cm long,
36cm wide and 18cm high in Australia? I need to carve out a
model solar car.
I would really appreciate any help with this.
Thankyou,
Donald

Cox engine Parts
=================
From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Cox engines were purchased by Estes rockets three years ago and they have
attempted to do away with the competition engines and continue to produce
the reed valve engines for the flying toys. Some parts can still be
purchased from them (they are located in Colorado and their address is
in the magazines). If you can't find parts form them,
you might contact either of the following:
Trumps Hobbies
541-753-7540.
These are fellows here in Oregon who stock quite a few Cox parts and have
them for engines that are no longer produced.
Their address is:
Timberhill Shopping Center
Corvallis, OR 97330.
Jim Trump is a good free flight supporter.
Another source is Lee Campbell at Campbell's Custom Kits, PO B ox 3104,
Muncie, IN 47307. Ph: 765-289-7753. Lee has a good selection of stuff as
well.
FYI: Some of the competition stuff is beginning to get scarce, so the
prices are beginning to go up. You might want to get the stuff ASAP.
Good Luck,
Bob Stalick, NFFS
