 Sounds like another good one coming up at Buder!  If only the field were about 450 miles closer...

  This is largely a fun type club contest but open to anyone. Last years attendance was real light. I think I was the only one to fly at all! I was the only one with a OTS model, and proxy flew almost all the other 1/2A racers. I might not be there this year. I', trying to arrange to attend a local motorcycle enduro I just found out about A 50th Annual affair, and kind of a once in a life time thing. Inmstead of working on models tonight I'm changing tires on my '79 Husqvarna 250WR. Even if I don't get to race I've been meaning to do that for the last 5 years! In my younger days, I used to be able to do an honest ISDT type 10 minute tire change, now it takes me half a day!
   If I do make the contest, I still have to finish the Cox Stuka flight I started almost 50 years ago! (Man it's really hard to say that! )

   Type at you later,

The dawn patrol event looks interesting...

  There have been some real neat looking WW-1 models, and some Goodyear racers also. If I didn't have Bob DePue's olld stuff, I wouldn't be able to race Golden Age. I would love to have a nice 1/2A Fokker D-7 and SE-5A. All it takes is time!
