I just received a flyer for "The Eight National Sailplane Symposium".

Just to possibly spark some interest here is my best attempt to re-type
the flyer.  I already made my motel reservations and planned a side trip
to the Oshkosh EAA museum and also to the new "Mall of America" in Minneapolis.
You guys really gotta learn how to get your wife interested in your hobby.

OK - here goes...

                        The Eight 
                National Sailplane Symposium

		   October 24 & 25 1992
               Ramada Inn, Madison, Wisconsin

The Madison Area Radio Control Society has heard your requests for another
National Sailplane Symposium and so the eight Symposium will be off and flying 
on the 24th of October.  We have a terrific faculty and a really fine program
covering a wide variety of interesting subjects.  This years Symposium will 
closely follow the format of the past meetings with an opening trip to the EAA
Museum at Oshkosh on Friday , the 23rd, leaving the Ramada at noon.  Gene Chase 
will take us on a conducted tour of the facility.  Gene is an aviator of vast
experience and will be our banquet speaker on Saturday evening.

The faculty this year are an outstanding group.  Walt Good will discuss Frequency
Analyzers, Terry Edmunds and Steve Metz comparing full size sailplanes and model
sailplanes, Al Doig on newer kits and construction methods for the average 
modeler, Maynard Hill will tell of his recent world's record attempts, Lee Murray,
Dave Beck and Al Scidmore on sailplane telemetry and instrumentation, Steve Neu on
Electric Sailplanes and the Electric World Championships, Martin Simons aerodynamicist
and author, George Sparr on composites and their use, Professor Roland Stull on
Meteorology for model sailplanes, Tim Renauld will give the latest on computer
radios and Peter Waters with a Muncie Update.

The ladies threatened to hold their own symposium so that they could have another
"Teddy Bear Clinic" and Dolly Wischer has graciously agreed to do it again.  Please
contact Dolly direct for information.  Mrs. Dolly Wischer, S221 Lapham Peak Road, 
Delafield WI 53018.  (414)-646-2406

For those who come early, the EAA trip will start form the Ramada at noon on Friday 
followed by the usual Early Bird get together at the Ramada on Friday evening, a
chance to tell and hear tall tales of past achievements by some of the "world's
greatest sailplane flyers".  Then early Saturday morning registration will start
at 8AM along with the usual coffee and doughnuts.  Walt Good, our traditional
first speaker will start at 9 and will be followed by a new speaker and a new 
subject every hour.  We will lunch at the Heritage House next door (included in 
tuition) and then return for an afternoon of stimulating talks and discussion.
Saturday evening we have a banquet at the Ramada (optional) and Gene Chase will
entertain us with his wide experiences in full scale aviation.  Sunday morning
we start early with the table clinics and show and tell, followed by more talks
and discussions, winding up at 3PM.  All in all, a full weekend of good fellowship
with some of the finest people we'll ever know.  Plan now to join us.
