My club (Eglin Aero Modellers) had a meeting last night and this club of 
105 members voted to send $200 to the F3A Team Fund.  That's $2 per 
member.  I am one of three pattern fliers in the club.  However, this is 
the same club which co-sponsored the 1999 F3A Team Selection Finals and 
the F3A World Championships, so I wasn't surprised. Great bunch of R/C 
pilots.
