without flaps to link them to.

I don't have an 8103, but I notice on the features page of the Horizon
website that this radio has flaperon function in the aircraft mode.
Wouldn't it be easier just to use that?

Try your local machine job shop. ask for a price on Thompson shaft rod. Used
for bearing shafts. You can get it in english and metric sizes, but you will
probavly have to buy a 3' length.

Hi Gang,
I guess I just do not get it. It sounds like there is almost no support for
this new rule so how come some small group of people can just up and impose
a rule like this especially right before the season starts without getting a
consensus vote from the masses. It sounds to me like we

Awhile back I asked for some info on the Bugatti

right when I asked about it. Well since I only live an
hour and a half from Oshkosh I decided to go to the
museum and see it for myself. It is absolutely awsome.

I haven't seen anything yet that prohibits the staking of the
anchor-person to the ground. As long as there is no solid connection
between the line and the stake it should be within the rules? A
length of line around the waist of the anchor-person should hold.

I have to say this has been a delightful to see such a

OK, so we have a big uproar about what sounds like a safety rule change
in F3B/J for hand towing.
The CIAM is mostly european. I'm sure Terry Edmonds was at the meeting
and he will report back. Terry did as the AMA district reps for FAI
soaring for input on the rules changes that were on the
Hawaii for F3f. I'm interested...
How about if we move the F3f Viking Qualifier from CA to Hawaii! It's
certainly much nicer than where it's planned now. And at least we won't
have to rent a generator to make sure we can charge our flight packs at
night.

For count up rounds that start with something like :10 or :15, are you
