Hey Paul,

Great stuff!  I'm planning to go to Dalby this year myself...

Can you send me your email address, the one I have seems to bounce.

Hi Paul,
I got to fly those in our last legal US .40 Rat contest. Bob was my pitman and those things screamed.

I have been following the Australian NATS on the Barton Model Flying Club site.  Loads of pictures and a link to even more pictures.  Seeing them flying racing events on grass makes me think of when I built my first all out rat for the day.  Midwest Rat Racer with K&B Greenhead .35.  The second rat was my version of the Midwest kit with Fox Golden .40.
