FFQ#70 has appeared, appeal for “Wake-Up” plan
From:Sergio
The new issue of Free Flight Quarterly has appeared, with a wide variety of articles, including biographies of Roy Marquardt and the great New Zealander FF competitor and designer Paul Lagan, who died last year.
You can see the table of contents, summary of articles and cover in our website: http://www.freeflightquarterly.com/wordpress
I also would like to appeal to anyone who would have a copy of the Champion Model Products “Wake-Up” Wakefield. We are presenting a retrospective of George Schroedter’s designs in a future issue of Free Flight Quarterly.

Rest of the story: As most of you know Norm Furutani, one of the founders of this event retired from running it after last year’s event. This event is very popular along with the FAI events. This year Glenn Schneider has offered to run the AMA events with a number of volunteers. This is very much appreciated by me and by those who want to take part. We have tried to maintain the spirit of the event. Popular events with the largest participation are the HLG and CLG, Gollywock, E-36, Vintage FAI and Nos Rubber. At the Winter Classic in the past we have promoted special events, typically boosted by some donated $ in the prize money. This year we have 2 such events, the Golden Age ½ A Gas models and the NOS-Electric event both with $$ sponsor ship…….In addition Lee Hines has donated $$ for an overall Electric Champ
Most of the people who have offered to help are AMA/Nos gas flyers. Glenn can probably do with some help, particularly on Saturday from some with electric, glider or rubber model experience.
