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.

<O</O
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.

<O
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?

[Szymon Bartus]

Hello all,

Extremely large congatulations to you, Quique! First moment when I started to recognise you was ETOC 2004 and from that time it was very nice to see you on high standing in many competitions and on many event coverages. I wish someday I will see your competing/demo flights live.

My questions to you:
1. Simple question: how have you got involved in this hobby? (what was your first plane, how have you learned the basics of flying)
2. What about full scale 3D? Can you judge from your experience with full scale aircraft if 3D aerobatics will be possible (in the fashion they are in RC) soon with manned aircraft?

Thanks a lot!

[boex]

Sorry Madmax, it is not Enriquez but Enrique, no Z. Quique is just a nickname for Enrique (Henry in English)

Marcelo and GianFranco flew to Las Vegas back then in 94 to the TOC as well they spend many hours with us at home as went to theirs and we enjoy them as well. Thank you very much for coming up and say hi and warm comments, they mean a lot to me.

Un abrazo para todo San Juan, un brazo al Gustavo y al Ingeniero! Cuidense. Quique

Hello QQ, as a big fan of yours and your airplane designs, I was wondering do you look for any specific goal to meet in regards to a wing loading # (or cubic wing loading) when designing 3D aircraft?
It seems like a compromise to build a plane that can harrier & hover well, and at the same time have enough mass or weight to do tumbling moves with the best of them. I'm probably 100% wrong on this, but thought I would ask.

Merry Christmas to you and your family
