Wow...There sure is lot's going on for everyone!!!

I would love to build something this winter, but can't decide on what kit. So, I am going to tear apart the AW 260 and pull more weight out of it and recover with a signature scheme (no ultra-crap). I am going to take the opportunity to swap out the MTW cans for RE-2's and sqeak out a bit more musle for those higher altitude contests. We'll see how much weight I can save.

I have toy'd with the idea of scratch building an Extra but I just need to get the final details of canopies and cowls.

Then I think I will be working diligently on the Nampa Escape contest. CD'ing the contest is pretty straight forward, but getting the prizes together and sponsors takes time. We always get good support from our local Hobbytown, DA, Horizon/ E-flight, SWB, Propwash video...and more. This year I already have Quick Shade on the hook for a couple of pop up canopies for our contest prizes and we will continue to get more sponsored prizes for our pilots as we go. Don't miss it!!!
