<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I can't speak for anyone else, but I had surgery for
my second macular hole on December 4th, this time in my left eye. No
way could I make it to Apopka.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>With luck I will be able to fly R/C again and, with
more luck, I will be able to fly Pattern. No sympathy required;. it's
been a great ride and my problem is just another thing that happens to old
farts. Can you imagine how bad someone is going to feel when I beat
them next summer?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>So thaaat's what I have to look forward to when I get there. Great!</DIV>

<DIV>Hey, all kidding aside, the weather in the NE is supposed to be really
nasty this time of year, but not this year. Supposed to be in 60s and moderate
wind all weekend long into next week. More Florida than Tundra. Warmest
December in NJ on record. I think there's something to this Global Warming
deal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On another positive note, I finally got to try one of the "larger" props
on the W160. Tried the 18.1x10. Weather was a bit on the cool side at around
55 the day I tried it, so the webra was making a bunch of horsepower and
turned the prop like it was toothpick. No load. As the weather heats up, this
prop may yet prove to be the right one for the engine, we just have to wait
and see. In meantime, Dean and I are planning to run even larger props on this
set-up trying to tame the beast</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Way I look at it is every day without snow.... another day closer to
Spring.</DIV>
