Fab Feb Finished
One of the greatest Fab Feb ever. In the almost 2 week period from the Wednesday before the Ike/Kiwi Cup to the President’s Day holiday we only had 2 days without completely perfect weather. On the Kiwi Cup Saturday we were visited by the Pineapple Express that delivered an off and on light misty rain that periodically obscrured visibility and made the ground slippery. This did not diminish the performance of the models. The fly off was held without difficulty the next morning and the mini-events went off well. On the Monday the northerly wind did not line up well with the Holloway Hill for the f1E event and from time to time was quite strong. From that point on the weather got better throughout the week to perfect for the Bob White Maxmen International. We had some technical difficulties relatld to displaying the results online but in the end got the important results out. We are planning on a better approach for next year.
Rules meeting
Before the event a number of people expressed some interest in having a meeting to discuss some of the proposed rules changes. We looked at reserving a meeting room but were not successful at such short notice., However once the flying started everyone was spending all their time either flying in their events or taking advantage for the great weather to trim their model to do better at the next event. The up shot was we never did get to having the meeting.

Hi Roger,

Lost Hammer at Max Men
From: John Clapp
Did any find a red fiber glass handled hammer at the close of the F1G
contest?
I fear that I left it at my site at the end of the contest.
Would love to get it back.
Did Stepan and George find his (Stepan’s) lost F1G?
Best regards,
John Clapp
