Since I am making the trophies I get an extra vote on the
selected award classes, and am pressing for an alternate engine class.
If you would like one of these for your desk, consider attending
August 23/24.
I am even planning to ask Paul to be ONE of the judges (no
extra points for being a rotary please)

I promise to be as impartial as I possible can under the circumstances.

This is tempting to fly down for, but I know at least two of the judges
would be biased against a ducted fan design, even if it has flown 400
hours in 4 years. Any awards for a propulsion system with a minimal
number of moving parts that actually flies often? :-)

I do not Know who the judges are at this time, but I think you would
be a shoo-in if you came - Vance
