No, Not really into that sort of thing, however, in a similar vein, when
we had the banquet on Saturday night, I popped out of the restaurant, and
noticed a sheep truck in the parking lot full of sheep. About an hour
later, we were all served lamb. Couple of hours later, when leaving, I
noticed the truck had only half the sheep left in it. Talk about fresh
meat!

Did you have a chance to see a bullfight while in Spain?

Subject: Euro Champs and F3A
Spent a very enjoyable week in Zamora, Spain, at the Euro Champs
last week.
One of the questions I put to members of the F3A sub committee where
questions regarding noise limits etc.
Here's the latest unofficial thinkings.
There will be no lowering of the noise limit, in fact it may be
scrapped all
together ! The thinking behind this is a) It's served it's
purpose, b)
there is concern about falling numbers. Loud draws crowds at
events.
Heresy for some, but there you have it.
There is likely to be a proposal to remove the weight limit so that
gasoline
engines can be used (apparently methanol is a problem in some
influential
areas)
Non of the above can be implemented for at lease 2 years.
I will be posting a power point presentation drawn up by the chief
F3A judge
Bob Skinner, on PO3 shortly.
Noticeable things at the Champs. Dingo's are here big time.
Distances
flown are 120m baseline by top pilots. Minimal elevator used on
snaps.
In judging workshop, smooth and grace ranked higher than
positioning!
