Happy New Year to all.

[Nat Penton]

Eric you have flown far more airplanes than than most. I, for one, would appreciate your opinion regarding selection of motor mounts. Do 2 strokes present more problems in getting good top and bottom isolalation ?           Happy New Year - Nat Penton

  Some predictions.

      Well, If you are reading this you made it into 2004. FAI pilots will be flying P-05 and maybe unknowns and F-05. Masters pilots will probably be flying their schedule for the last time. Intermediate pilots will still be exiting down-wind, but may get a snap to do in 2005. A lot depends upon how progressive our AMA committee sees our future.

      Two cycles will continue to be a force in pattern but the 4-c's will fight back with cubes!. Electric power will continue to tempt us in in a most tantalizingly expensive manner. New pattern plane designs will help us fly better and make it as hard as ever for judges to separate us. New servos will give us more rudder power and better resolution to amplify our skills and of course our errors.

      Most of all the weather will cooperate this year. We will practice in February in District-1. We will be ready for the Nationals. We will judge spins and snaps with consistency. More of us will attend contests and... "What's that noise? Oh,it's my hotel-wake-up call".... Must go flying to get my January flight in.


  HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

  Eric.
