I got the 43% Cover from Plane Wrappers, it's worth every penny! This is a deal that everyone on FG should take advantage of.

Agreed, their covers are very nicely done and well made. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago!!

That's cool.

I want to take a moment to thank all of the Flying Giants community for their support of the USA F3A Team.
It would be pretty accurate to describe the F3A World Championships as the R/C precision aerobatic Olympics.This year's competition will have pilots representing 40 nations from around the world.
Unfortunately unlike the Olyimpics we don't have the likes of a Nike,General Motors or Wheaties to step up and help pay the bills. We rely on a small group maufacturers , distributors, clubs and supporters like yourself to make ends meet.In the best of times it's been a challenge to secure funding ,and in our present economy,it hasn't gotten any easier.So I urge all of you out there to help out if you can and a big thanks to those that already have. Believe me, there are few more rewarding and powerful moments you can have in life than to stand on a foreign nation's soil and see "Old Glory" raised and hear "The Star Spangled Banner " played. Let's bring home the gold.
Best regards,
Tim Jesky
p.s. Sleepy,
Mine and Linda's donation in honor of Kirby McKinney has been sent.

Some have on here, some have elsewhere. Every one that I've talked to have donated somehow by either directly or by buying a t-shirt, hat, raffle ticket or some other manner, but all are donating.
