<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px;} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>During the Toledo show I committed myself to trying to put together a contest in the Cleveland Ohio area. The thought was to put together an event that would serve as the first D4 contest of the year as we don't have any in May.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The preferred dates were the weekend of May 19th. I spoke with the club president and unfortunately there was already a club event scheduled for that weekend. The only dates available were the following weekend May 26th and 27th. The combination of that bieng Memorial Day weekend and the very short planning/turn around time convinced me to give it a pass this year. There were other considerations that persuaded me to forego it (club flying can not start before noon on Sundays, it's possible to get a pass on that for a weekend but probably not in time for the event.). As such, there will be NO Cleveland contest this year, but I am already planning the first Cleveland Ohio contest in over 15 years for late May 2013 (unless the kookie Mayans are correct of course). <BR></DIV>
<DIV>I would still be thrilled to host a one day group practice session/pattern primer/get together for the weekend of the 26th if anyone is interested. I can print some score sheets and make sure there are at LEAST two people behind you criticizing you as you fly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Let me know what the level of interest is and I will start working out the details.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you</DIV>

I wonder why I measure different voltages when I switch on the two 2S lipo batteries at different times. If it had a single regulator, I would think the output voltage would be the same, no matter which battery was chosen.

<DIV>It’s actually a dual output single regulator that can switch between two power sources. It provides two leads from the same internal source, so only the battery side of things has any redundancy.</DIV>

<DIV>I'm looking for a used pattern plane. It's been about 10 years since my last contest, and I want to give these old fingers another chance. I'm looking for a fixed gear 2m design, and plan to do an electric setup. I can convert a methanol burner if necessary. I live in Nashville,tn., avoiding shipping would be good.
