Good Brothers for the ladies at Wasco [near Lost Hills]
=======================================================
For those attending the World Champs and other festivities at Lost
Hills, Lindy reports that the Good Brothers Antiques in Wasco has
a wide range of antiques to suit all pocket books. They are at:
332 Highway 43 - aka F Street
Wasco CA 93280.
This is south off Highway 46 before you get to Highway 99.
661 - 758 2663 and 661 746 6118

They have 3000 airconditioned square feet of shop.
The Good Brothers is a slight misnomer as it is run by Ray and Barbara Smith
They are open 11:30 til 4:30
Sundays and Holidays 12: to 3:00
they are open some Monday's and Tuesdays - so if you want to go those
days during the World Champs best you check ahead of time.
Rubber News
===========
My favorite tester and John Clapp report that there is a new
batch of rubber - August 2001 that is of excellent quality.
Unfortunately there is a fairly limited supply at this time
[i.e. before the World Champs].
FAI ModelSupply will have this for sale at the World Champs.
Preference will be given to World Champs F1B participants.
To make sure that everyone gets a box, sales will be limited
to one [10 pound] box per person. FAI will then sell the remaining boxes
that they have at Lost Hills to other flyers from outside the
USA. This is because transport costs for a 10 pound box are
high. Again it will be limited to one box per person. After this
sales will be made to US modellers.

Big Al's FAI Shootout
=====================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We finished the Big Al's Shootout on Labor day weekend (Sept 1 & 2).
The weather people cooperated with a beautiful flying not hot weekend. The
field was shared with the big meet with the Nostalgia, AMA and Old timers,
and we didn't seem to bother each other much. A good time was had by all at
the Ice Cream Social done by the Orbiteers with help from others I am sure.

Entry: $5 fee - no trophies
Schedule:
F1A, F1B, F1C - 7 rounds: one and half hour rounds with half hour
overlap. The schedule may be changed to accommodate the weather
conditions and the field.
First round-> 8AM Saturday
F1G, F1H, F1J - 5 rounds: one and half hour rounds with half hour
overlap.
First round-> 8AM Sunday
Note: The corn on adjoining fields is high and not harvested.
Competitors should not anticipate finishing all seven rounds on
Saturday. The uncertainty of weather combined with the corn
make it likely that rounds will be postponed. We are assuming that
all competitors will be using tracking radios and that retrieval
from the corn will be common.
____________________________________________________________________
[For those coming from afar who may be able to travel to only
one of our two fall America's Cup contests, Sept 29-30 or Oct 27-28,
be aware of the trade-off:=A0 Adjoining corn crops which constrict
the field in September are mostly harvested by the end of October,
giving access to a much larger area -- on the other hand, while
weather is generally nice throughout this season, there is evidence
of more risk of a cold front at the end of October.]
_
The field is on Orange County Route 12, in Wawayanda, six miles south
of Route 17M near Middletown, NY.=A0 Nearby airports include
Newburg, NY (30 min from field) or White Plains, NY; Hartford, CT;
LaGuardia, NY; Albany, NY; Newark, NJ; or Wilks-Barre Scranton, PA
(all of which are less than 2 hours from the field).

south 6.3 miles.=A0 After Gardnersville Road, the Barron and Ford fields
are on the left at the Grain Silo-- drive onto the Barron farm road
