1 SSUE# 9 EARLY SUMMER NDOOR NEWS and VEWS FROM THE EDTORS DES< Welcome to the AMA ndoor Free Flight Nationals ssue, But, first must apologize for this late issue. As did my planning for issue #9, thought how could get the Nationals in this issue. Answer? Put the issue out late. f We waited until August, the news would be old hat. Put the issue out late was the only answer. So we will mail it out on a very historic date, June 6h, D Day, the WW invasion of Europe. Short history lesson. So this is the ndoor F.F. NATS. We will have as many scores as we can jam into this issue, some pictures and other news. As was the Event Director for this contest, and busy, some of the pictures do not have names, but am sure you will get the intent of the picture. We also had a record set in A-6 by Tom Sova. Yes, A-6 is now an AMA event along with FM. Things move fast these days. We will also have the results of the A-6 Ministick nternational Postal Contest. This contest was marred by the absence.ofthe Japanese. fliers due to the earthquakes and Tsunami. Last issue had some pictures of a balsa stripper that was sent to me in color and printed in black and white. t did not show the stripper as good as color. f anyone would like to see the stripper in color send me a request and will forward it to you. Your editor at work for you. may have wrote this up before, but want everybody to know about this man, one Billy Landrum. He has donated $. to NAV. He feels strongly about NAV and wants to see it go forward. Thanks to Jeff Hood, Tony Pavel and Billy we are financially secure. We cannot forget Tim Goldsteins, Ray Harlans and others donations to the raffle at the last few Nats. These people are behind the scenes and contribute much help. Thanks guys. have received some ndoor wood from Nick Aikman in Merry Old England and it really looks good, there is not enough room in this issue to do it justice. We will really check it out and build some indoor models from this wood not just me, but others and then get back to you. Thanks Nick! On to the scores and such. PS m still working on the expiration dates they will be posted in issue. t reminds me of the saying," the hurrier go, the behinder get" M kmjr Model Special tools: Special supplies: Superstrip rubber strippers Pigtail thrust bearings Micrometer balsa strippers U/trofilm Mvtar coverings Digital thickness gages Boron fibers Spring and beam scales Tungsten bracing wire and much more Send me some more of the worlds Online, use credit cards or Pat,Pal best thrust bearings"
