Shipped out the first wave on Tuesday. I'm now learning the "fun" that John Roe has dealt with for the last few years! Post office lines, labelling and tracking of orders, shipping supplies, etc.... Still, to a good cause, at least some think so! If you want to get a 3 R's video, send me an email with the shipping address that you wish it sent to via USPS, and send me a check to: Joe Wurts 25327 Avenida Ronada Valencia CA 91355 The price is $20, with a few bucks for shipping & handling. The S&H is on the honor system. I'll still ship it if you send just $20. All of the proceeds will go to the US F3B team fund. The fund covers the monies necessary to send the team to the World Championships, lodging, and car rental expenses, minus what the AMA provides. Previous soaring WC events had team fund budgets between $10k and $15k, so there are a lot of funds to be raised. :-( A thumbnail description of the video is in order for those of you that might not have heard of it. The 3 R's stands for Reading the air, Riding thermals, and Recoring thermals. The video was put together via John Roe's efforts, and shows the results of amateur video production. Still, I think that it imparts some very useful information. It has a combination of on the field flight shots and "studio lectures" describing the third vector method for reading thermal location via wind shifts. Also, it covers some common thermalling mistakes that we all do at times, as well as how to better work thermals. If you are in doubt, maaybe post a question to RCSE as to whether or not it is worth your time and money. So far, I've not heard from anyone that was unsatisfied, but I've not been in the position of selling stuff before. If I'm lucky, I might possibly be one of the vendors that gets bashed on RCSE! One thing to remember, nobody is getting any profits (or even wages) on this. All proceeds are going to the USA Soaring team. Thanks for your time, apologize for the bandwidth. Joe Wurts PS Unfortunately, we only have NTSC format, no PAL. It costs a lot to get a PAL format rendition. If there is sufficient interest, maybe we could put together an order, but it would have a surcharge. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
