I purchased this publication back in 1994 and still use it to this day.
Its been through some tough times being loaned out & such and it is time
to replace it. I'm hoping there is a updated version out their. Please
inform me of where I might purchase this publication if it is still in
existence. BTW the author was Lew Gitlow.

Thank you,

Chuck O'Neill

Roger,

Just returned from the Annual CIAM Meeting at 11.32,the 17th and am typing
this at 11.51.
Main points first. The F1J motor run remains the same. The matter has been
referred back to the F/F sub-committee for further discussion.
The 2005 World Champs will be in Argentina at probably the same site as the
previous Champs were held,near Cordoba. Fine presenttation from Daniel Iele.
Other points and a detailed report in the succeeding days when I have had
some sleep.

Regards
Mike S

To The person who inquired about Aero Gloss Dope:
It is still distributed by Midwest, and available
at some hobby shops, though the color selection
is down from what it used to be. An excellent
alternative that many in the C/L ranks are
turning to is Brodak's Dope, getting excellent
reviews from all who use it.

I have flown (not recently) with a Yuasa 12V 7.0 Ah completely sealed
lead-acid battery (NP7-12). Very good battery !

Dear Sir / Madam

I have a Boxed model set by Kiel Kraft called the " Gypsy ". It is a wooden
model set with all the components stored neatly in the box. The schematic
and plans are all included. The box set dates from 1958.

Please can you advise of any clubs or speciality auction rooms that might be
interested in purchasing the set. It was a gift from my grandfather many
years ago. He had originally purchased it for my Father but never gave it to
him.

Your help would be much appreciated as a Model fan I am not.

Many thanks in advance
Terry



New way of winding
======================

Dear Sirs,

I would like to propose to your attention an revolutionary modern method
of winding the rubber engine OUTSIDE of model.
The rubber engine winding separately from model, then by means of a
special rod it is inserted into model.
The model does not demand any alterations.
I have tested this method in competitive conditions an autumn of 2002.
Very much it was pleasant to me and further I shall apply this method
constantly.
More information can see on mine of page in Internet.
