<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ditto Jim. You are correct. What Mike did in
D3 is now famous and inspirational. Other efforts of that magnitude are an
option, but they cost some money. Not an outrageous amount, but it would
be a different allocation of our limited funds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just guessing here, but a pattern plane award
for each district might cost about $4800 total. Cost for the KF (avg.)
$2800/month. Please don't read into this. My point is that we have
cashflow and are not stuck between a rock and a hard place. We simply have
chosen a KF arrangement that consumes, by far, nearly all our budget. This
is the current choice we've made.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The winner of sportsman got a fully built 2
meter plane, I'm painting it now. Not sure where you heard it faltered, the
winner was Marcio Jorge. Time is just an issue with me, I'm super busy and
it's getting much worse than I ever imagined.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also second place got a sheeted kit, and 3rd
got a kit. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, that one hasn't faltered one inch =) As for
someone else not doing it elsewhere, not much I can do about
that.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The NSRCA is a volunteer group made up of
officers, district VPs, and members. Although elected, the officers
and VPs are not paid and, like the members, volunteer their time for this

get:</FONT></DIV>
