In SEN 1588, SCAT offered up 5-6 more AmCup sanctions. We've gotten two inquiries which made me realized I should have provided the minimum requirements for AmCup contests.

F1E is handled separately.

F1G, H, J and Q minimum of 5 rounds
F1A, B, C, G, H, J, P and Q events are to have discreet rounds and must be flown from a launch line.
F1E is flown as provisional events a

CLARIFICATION FOR F1C PARTS FOR SALE
I received the following inquiry from another F1C flier.
"Just a curiosity question for you. You mention "The entire engine unit is a turn-key unit that slides into a F1C front end to replace a geared engine unit." Why would it be advantageous to replace a geared setup with a direct drive?"
My answer to him was as follows.
"These units are meant for folder models. Interesting, they are very close to being as effective as a gear engine on a folder........... and have the advantage of not having the gear prop fold problem." For example the Russian flier that has won the F1C World Championship, as well as medaling at least two other times.
Obviously in my advertisement I should have provided more detail! The units I am selling were produced by Artem Babenko to use with his folder models. The direct drive engine unit fits exactly into the front end of one of Artem's graphite ends. The pan will also fit into a Verbitsky front end but most likely the cowling would not fit as well.

One kit left of TROPIK F1A in woood and carbon. Why not build your own F1A glider with a reasonable cost and the satifaction of D.I.Y. Kit does not include timer and towhook. Total cost 130 $ or 100 Euro including shipping cost. The kit has been sold all over the world (25kits). This is the last one.
Hang em High hung up ?
Roger, please post.Thanks
Anyone have an idea about how long the Hang-em High Kite Store(the source for 1/2oz. Icarex) will be closed? I've been trying for two weeks and no answer.
Thanks for any help.

We have already had questions about the February dates for Lost Hills. Sounds like we are going to experience a Viking invasion. While not processed by the FAI yet the intent is all 3 events will have World Cup Status.
