Thank you for your comments. About Jason's shaving that "thing" from his chin I have nothing to do . One morning it was off and I tell when he took that "thing" off better watch out because he flies even better!!. Take care. Quique

Thank you for your very nice words, I appreciate very much. We have to thanks also Mad for making this possible, I am enjoying and it is my pleassure. Thank you for getting our airplanes. The reason of lowering the wing it is related to reduce coupling and as resulting of that the airplane will do better specific maneuver such rolls and more equally pitch wise positive and negative snap rolls. Lowering the wing allows to use a bit of more dihedral which helps with the airplane stability. Helps the vertical uplines and downlines to be more straight. Remember wing location is relative to stab location, to engine thrust location and overall shape of the fuselage. Wish also Merry Christmas for you and your family. Take care and thank you again.

Please have a merry Christmas and a happy new year..... Keith PS- I know it is not a pattern question, but I am buying your 100cc Yak. Why do you mount the wing so much lower than others with Yaks? Is this a secret or can you tell me? Beautiful paint schemes on the Yaks by the way!!!!

Hi Pedro, Thank you so much for all very nice comments. Great memories from Costa Rica, great people!. I hope you, Alvaro and Julio can make Joe Nall '08 that will be great. I wish you guys Merry Christmas and see you in May at JN! Quique

That was my very first time I have contact with the RC planes, and that touch me very deep, your show was AWESOME (as are today every time I see one of your video). Two years later (2002), I start flying model planes, and every time I talk about RC Model Planes with my buddies, your name allways sound. THANKS very much to be such a great model for the RC community. The next year (2008) I hope to be at the Joe Nall to see you flying again in live (Maybe I´ll travel with Guardia and Pastora, to be there for the first time). Regards from Costa Rica Pedro Apuy

Is there video anywhere of that freestyle routine from TOC 1994 Las Vegas? In a sense that was the beginning of 3D flight that has driven a large segment of the hobby to the point it is at today.

Excellent questions and amazing answers! Thanks QQ & Crew!!

Okay, a little more on our QQ trivia contest.... What significance does "MES" have. This is an excellent piece of trivia as it aparantly can't be googled

The most incorrect answer yet came from Adrian -

	Quote:
	MES is an acronym that stands for Manufacturing Execution Systems. It refers to addendum software that fills a specific need. For example, one MES System creates a production plan from all work orders based on due dates, routing times and work center constraints. These systems are independent of ERP Systems and hence the reference to addendum software.

Sorry Adrian, but excellent try

We're going to bump up the ante on the winning prize - we'll be sending the winner a Holiday Gift Package with one of our new shirts, just in time for Christmas - you can see it on our swag page.

We'll drop some more hints throughout the day. Q&A is over at 5m CST folks! Come on in & don't be shy!

Hi Quique,

Congratulations from Jack, Rachelle, Mark and Robyn at Duralite Flight Systems on your 2007 F3A World Championship. Mark and Robyn had the privilege of being there in person in Argentina to watch you compete in front of your family and friends and claim your trophy.
You couldn't write a better storybook ending!


Over the past several years we have had the pleasure of getting to know you on a personal and business basis. Witnessing your passion and dedication to the hobby has been truly amazing.


For the last two years you have donated your time to come and fly for us at ‘Victoria’s Largest Little Air Show', an event that we sponsor along with other local companies. To date the airshow has raised over $67,000.00 for local charities. Being as busy as you are and taking the time away from your work (and more importantly your family) to help us is so appreciated. THANK YOU.


The Duralite Team

Winner winner, chicken dinner! Pedro got it right!

Mario Enriquez Somenzini is Quique's full birth name. Pedro, please PM FG user Momo with your shipping information.

Now the next question on everyone's mind is, and I'll ask it. Mr. Somenzini, where did you get your nickname, and how did it stick?
