Many readers have written to me wanting to see the first issue of the
Free Flight Quarterly magazine. This is already being distributed by
mail to the subscribers. Also, and this may be of interest to those
attending the W/C at Lost Hills, Richard and Don Blackam, from the
Australian F1B team have a number of copies of the first issue to
distribute, as well as some brochures. Please ask them for a copy.

Hello Roger
Please put thes e-mail on the next SEN.
How many of you think that the model box is an unimportant item?
That it can be made out of wood and does'nt have to look good?
Well there is someone that thought otherwise. That someone will be at the
world champs with his brand new model box.
The box is beautiful it's made out of carbon in the inside, rohcell in the
middle, and aluminium on the outside.
Wait till you see this box you will want one too.

Roger
I am busy putting together Hummers and I will have engines at the WC for
people to pick up. Hopefully I will have enough for everyone. So everyone
that wants to pick up their ordered engines please inform me now of the
Fuselage ring type you want. There are three choices: Straight on outside for
Oliver Fuselage type; tapered on outside for Achterberg fuselage type; or
leave it untapered, I'll do it myself later.
Mcburnett has a prop that works well, Poti has a prop that Ed Keck is using
that works well.
I also have a prop pin pusher inner-outer and a balancing-only hub. This tool
set is mandatory for a gear engine user to protect your hub and to be able to
pre-balance your prop blades in sets for replacement on the field.
See you all at Lost Hills!
Thx
Doug Galbreath
Digital timer developments
============================

I've been recently working on a digital timer for bunting F1H glider. Some
ideas behind the timer and pictures can be seen at
http://www.pp.htv.fi/tlinkosa/digitimer/
F1H serves as a testbed to smooth out initial wrinkles in the system. My
final aim is to use the same system in F1B, too.
