Hey, I think I found the source of my engine woes - I might have a pinhole in the fuel line, but I’m not sure. Re-installing the tank with new fuel line for another round of tests! Stay tuned!

So sorry to hear about the passing of Rusty. His Miss Ashley II is my all time favorite, and he shared a lot of information with me about building, painting and flying them. He will be missed.

Look what I still have from 2003! And Terence is one of the nicest guys in the world.

Alex, Are you sure you have the right drive collet? Nelson and Jett use slightly different thickness and taper. I've been using both brands of engine interchangeably (subject to minor CG adjustment as noted above), and unless the collet is wrong, the dimensions should be practically identical. Chee...

See you in Denver in August RR!

Don’t forget about the Saturday evening cookout at Brian Neff’s house! He’s only minutes away from the field and said Lonnie is invited this time, if he behaves.

Ray’s post reminds me of what happened at Lonnie’s race in Wichita last year: Seven racers tied for first. Three raced in one flyoff, and four in the other. The top two in each heat flew in the final. I would say the winner was definitely the winner. It made for a neat ending.

7th place…

Guess who belongs to these?! (And no, it’s not me…Way out of my leagu$!)

He was a true gentleman. I wish I had talked with him more, especially these past few months.
