Roger,
Maybe we should put together an FAI orchestra. Looks like there is =
enough talent.
The theme song could be "The High and the Mighty".
Serously, it is good to recognize those amoung us with talent.

Dear Roger !
I would like to inform by SCAT electronic news the mournful
news for everybody who know Alexander Mukhin. Alexander died
suddenly today January 26 on 49 th year of his life.
Alexander was very strong F1C flier. Many times he was member of
Soviet Union team. Two times in 1987 and in 1989 Alexander
was team World Champion.
In the individual score Alexander was fourth on World
Championships in 1987 and third on European Championships in 1988.
He won many big contests in Europe, Soviet Union and Ukraine.
At last time Alexander's health was not so good. He had
problems with heart and not can to take part in airmodelling
contests. But many modelfliers of the
World used and still using tail booms, fin & rudders, carbon
folding propellers ect. producing by Mukhin.
Alexander Mukhin was very known sportsman all over the World.
Everybody remember his very strong dynamic launch of the model.
He was GREAT friend.
E.Verbitsky.
Beyond the Black Stump
======================
.. or straight from the kangaroo's mounth. My correspondents in Oz
report that World Champs organizers have found a replacment [and better] site
for the one that sprouted radio antenna. They have a few details
to finalsize and there will be an offical announcment "real soon now".
Thanks

Thanks Roger for publishing the flyer for our San Valeer's Annual. I
appreciate it.
Terry Thorkildsen
[It's no trouble. We are always pleased to publish contest annoucements
and reports.
Terry sent us his contest annoucement in Microsoft Word Format. We
saved that a MS-Dos Dos format text with line breaks, and that
is what was in the SEN. We did do a little clean up.
We also saved it as HTML and put that on the Web Site in the
contest annoucments section. This looks a little more
like Terry's original word document.
In general when some sends us item for publication they can do
what we just did to check how it will appear when published
and correct it if needed. Then send us the corrected copy.
It is not a problem to send two versions - one plain text
for SEN and one HTML for the Web Page.]

Thanks for the plug, Roger,
Others who come to mind... don't forget Ken Bauer who provided sound
equipment and played a mean blues piano with me on "Crossroads" a couple
years ago at the MaxMen 14 rounder Banquet dinner. Also Jos Melis who did
a mean Bob Dylan impression on "Knockin' on Heaven's Door.
And...Jon Davis has been known to pick up the fiddle from time to time tho
he 'plays' this fact down!
And another neat thing...I just returned from a national Medical trade show
in Anaheim 1-15/21.. Sort of a dual business/pleasure trip. DuPont paid
all expenses for one of my customers and I to perform at their hospitality
suite as a "Dynamic Acoustic Duo". It went over real well. We got rave
reviews...and they even paid us more$$!
Also Big Thanks to Randy Secor who helped as my "Roadie" and supporter!

Commerical Disputes
===================
We received a note fom a reader quoting a commerical modelling web
site. This site published a list of people that owed them money.
The reader included that list [or part of it].
We do not publish that information. This is because in any situation
like this there is always two sides and we are not acting as arbitor
or judge and jury.
Similarly on our web site we have a list of free flight suppliers. I
once got a message from someone [who did not properly identify them
selves] saying " .. why does a respectable organization like SCAT
have a listing from modeller X who is a sleeze ball and did this
that and the other in some business dealing. We cannot judge
a supplier on the basis of one incident from an anonomous writer
and we cannot qualify the suppliers. So we published the listings
with the warning "buyer beware" as it would be in any commerical situation.
