That's a Roger James on the preparations for Switzerland.
Should be just do a Q prior to R66 next September or hold a scale event selecting the top 7 finisher, that are inclined to compete in 2013?
Anway now that we have brought the JWM back to life and have experienced judges and competitors lets keep it alive.

Pool....anybody got a clue?

OK Roger, sounds like a plan.

As for the pool, you can't have a frozen margarita pool party without a pool. If Tam is coming to this shindig, we'll have to bring a lower chair

Well I suppose we need a pool sponsor, huh?

We have a kit sponsor:

Hi Roger
We'd like to donate one 1.6M Viper to be sponsor.
Please advise full shipping address and phone number.

Best regards

We have a turbine sponsorKingtech is donating a $1,000 Certificate and I quote:<o></o>

<o></o>

Can we do something like a raffle or auction for a $1,000 gift certificate for a K-170F against MAP of $3050, so the balance would be $2050, with a one year expiration?

Let me know, if there's any questions, and if sounds OK, I'll prepare that certificate and send it along the some banners to you.”

Best Regards,
Barry<o></o>

<o></o>

I have never received this kind of sponsorship but gona give it a go as the high bid amount will contribute toward the cost of the event.
So go to the auction thread:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10677820/tm.htm
<o>and submit your bid.</o>

LOL, that sounds pretty good. I'm getting shipping quotes now (96" x 24" x 20" crate weighing 100lbs) and so far I'm none too thrilled with the shipping costs. I thought the price of fuel went down.

Regards,

Jim

Somebody please bring extra turbine oil. I only have enough for 25 gallon. That might not be enough for back to back weekends. Going to the D.O.G.S show next weekend end and then stopping back at Rt 66 on the way back home. I hope it's not enough that means all went well.

These will be my little future jet pilots second and third flying. She loves watching!!
Thanks

Got you covered on the oil fast-bro.....

Have not heard from the Bush man, Cranwill, Cook, Elston, Fernandes, Frosty or Harper but they are always there so will have Ts, tent space, tables, etc. for allexcept those that want to occupy their own tent.
As usual bring chairs......

The Auction: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10677820/tm.htm
is going well so looks like we will have beverages and chow.
You may want to join the biding and get a heck of a bargin plus credit as a Contributor/Sponsor!

Gotta go to Illini Super Jets so later.......

Hey Guys,

I found a good shipping agent but I discovered an issue with the Mirage F1 that will keep it on the ground until I can get a part made Fear not though, I'll still be there with the snow cone maker.
