No, the snow isn't gone yet,  We just had a blizzard(30 inches of snow
in two days) but it's getting better.  I attended an old timers contest
2 weeks ago at a local lake.(frozen over with snow )  I didn't have an
old timer plane but I had some fun with the fun-fly portion.  This is
my second model (the first a victim of a downdraft) and I hope it will
stand up to the punishment of newer flyer.

Hi Mike,
 I appreciate your reply. I would like to have some info on getting
Gif's onto a BBS.  I am totally ignorant on this subject. Is there a
cost for scanning and if so what are your prices.  There will be about a
dozen photo's.  How do I go about posting them or do I just attach them
to a message.  The program I am using is Qmpro for Dos.  I upgraded to a
28,800 modem, downloaded one message and it crashed.  I'm in the process
of getting a new one operating. I'll keep an eye out for your reply.
Also can you post you address and voice phone number if possible.
Ed Grossheim also has some facilities to do the same, so perhaps between
the two of you, I can be successful getting these posted.
Thanks

From what I've seen and read, they run cooler than conventional motors at
comparable power levels. The US F5B team ran Aveox motors at the  World
Championships this year, and one of it's members won the individual title
(can't recall his name).I've read that they used a controller designed by
Steve Neu that operated the drive system at around 90% efficiency...

assistant: Hey Bruce,
        Looks like a great plan! I had a plastic pod with a wooden core once.
The plastic degraded so I just used the wood and modified it a bit to fit the
wing. It worked great until a couple of weekends ago. The wood had become
soaked with fuel and softened things up a bit until it just fell apart after
a stalled landing. I've seen the SIG and have thought about buying it. I'm
going to my local hobby store with paper and pencil to sketch it out. That
will probably go over real well. While there I'm going to buy the wood and
try your plans. Thanx again.

        The plane would never survive! Some of the guys I fly with use .074's

you run out of gas and the weather is just right you may never come done. One
flight I had last fall was so great I ran my TX to low and had to make a
quick and dirty landing before it went completely dead. I do have three other
planes, .20 - .61 and they are great in there own right. See you in the air!

  Hi,
     I have a Progressive Miniature Avaition Flying Machine and am having
trouble with the engine burning out plugs all the time.  The engine is a
YS .45 side exhaust with a MAC header and MAC 8.5cc tuned pipe.  I am using
15% Cool Power fuel.  The propeller is a 10x8 APC.  It is rich enough so that
it still has a nice trail of smoke, even in the vertical, but still runs
without loading up.  I have had the best luck so far running on a ducted
fan plug, but still only get 4-5 flights before the plug goes.
     Can anybody help me here?  The plane is incredible to fly but it is
costing me a fprtune in plugs!
