Club News ISSUE #144-70 Mar./April '92 T Club News ISSUE #144-70 Mar./April '92 t. 'J.~ \VIMG! Who amongst us has not experienced the scene on the cover at one time or an- "-­ other? If you say you haven't you are probably telling a fib. This drawing was done by Herschel Honeycutt and sent to us ~ steve Kreitler, thanks Steve. A thousand pardons to Ken Ketner and the La_ex Rangers for not mentioning them as an FAC Squadron. I don't know how it happened but somehow they were by-passed in our listing of FAC Squadrons. If anyone li~es in their area and would like to join them please write to: Squadron #25, L$ex Rangers, Ken Ketner, 4305 93rd st., Lubbock, Tex. 79423. We have to report the passing of two more FACers. Warren Weith from Brooklyn, N.Y. and Burr Stanton of Louisville, Ky. Burr was the editor of the INMARC Newsletter. Our sympathy goes to their families and friends. They will be missed by all. Entries are coming in at a record breaking pace for the FAC-Nats, Mark VIII! At this time we have at least 30% of the seating capacity for the banquet al­ ready taken. So if you are going to be there we strongly urge you to get your entry in as soon as you can so as not to be disappointed. This will also help us out by reducing the work load later on when it really becomes hectic. An entry blank is on the back page for your use. We will have more info as to place of registration and housing in the next issue as well as a map of the college campus. If enyone plans to be a vendor please notify GHQ as soon as possible. The same set-up as the last time will be used, that is no vendors on the field on Friday, the first day of the contest, but we will give you a table for your wares on Friday night while the scale judgrng is going on. But you must let us know as soon as possible. Don't forget to mark -down the dates for the big FAC contest at the NFFS Out­ door Championships at Muncie, Ind. (the new AMA flying field) on Sept. 5-6. There will be more info in the next issue on this contest. Someone from Canada sent in a postal time for the No-Cal event but did not say who he was nor did he have a return address on the envelope. So whoever you are, if your entry isn't listed in the current results list, you know why. Are you or do you know anyone who might be eligible for our "Fun Medal" that we mentjoned in the last issue? We would like to give some of these out at the FAC-Nat~ banquet so get your nominations in early. Thanks very much to all of you who contributed to this issue of the newsletter. We really appreciate what you are doing to help further the success of not only the Flying Aces Club but scale modeling in general. Thanks again! If the box on the right has the dreaded RED "X" in it, it is time to renew your membership which includes the newsletter. Cost is $9.00 per year in the United states and Canada. Overseas cost is $12.00. Six issues pub­ lished every other month. This is your last issue under your old membership. Make checks payable to Flying Aces, send to FAC-GHQ, 3301 Cindy Lane, Erie, Pa. 16506 3. Some rules violations have been brought to my attention recently and it would be good fo~ all of the members to see that it is stopped while we still have a 0-11ccessful :program going. The biggest complaint seems to be that Contest Dir­ tors are allowing No-Cal models to be flown in competition when they do not conform to the rules. No rigging when necessary, no markings and the wrong color schemes. Come on Co's, it takes no longec to put the right colored tiSsue on your model than it does to put on the wrong colored tissue. Disqualify them. Also the subject of painted windows has come up. On a model such as a high wing cabin ship there should never be painted windows! PERIOD! Maybe on a model of a transport or such, then maybe the passenger windows co~ld be painted on but that would have to be according to the size of the model. fLets use a little discFe~ion here CDs. We are trying to determine what if any effect different types of rubber lube have on the performance of the new tan rubber. It seems that this just might have an effect on breaking as well as power. let's have your comments on this for a future issue, it might be very interesting. The Flying Aces Plan Packet is now ready for shipment. We are giving you 10 plans (16 pages, 11 X 17) that appeared in the early issues of the FAC News­ letter. By purchasing this plan packet you will be helping to keep the cost of the FAC membership where it now stands, at nine dollars per year, $12.00 for overseas. Printing and postage costs have risen considerably over the past years and we are proud to say that we have never had to increase the price. So with your help we can continue to hold the line on prices. The packet contains plans by Dave stott, Pres Bruning, Chet Bukow~ki, Tom Nallen, Jr. and Frank Scott. They range from peanut models to FAC type scale to Embryo and No-Cal. The price for the plan packet is $8.00 plus $2.00 for postage. Send your order t FAC Plan Packet, 3301 Cindy Lane, Erie, Pa. 16506. BUILD· -FLY --WIN--EFF--AAA- --(,EEE! !! T.t. Col.

    STRAIGHT AND LEVEL By Brad Thomas The bitter winter cold arrived with a bang in early President January and not only stopped motorists but schools, Antique/Classic Division businesses and commercial air travel in many areas of the country. Those of us in the process of restorations do have something to accomplish if we have an avail­ able working area that can be heated, and those with­ out heat will just have to wait until spring arrives. Even with a heated working area you must be careful of sudden changes in temperatures when moving your projects around. We well remember a few years back when Steve Wittman was heading to Florida for the Sun 'N Fun Convention when it was being held in January. It was quite cold outside and when Steve rolled his Tail­ wind out of the heated hangar and into the sudden temperature change, he was amazed to watch his wind­ son, now designated a national monument.

Eager to get into the warmer climates, mum time available, we chose the seaplane.
