"Abstentions" I think... So.. 181 people voted? Incredible. How many people post here? 40 at the most, I think. I think we have far more lurkers than I ever imagined. OK.. lets give a chance for all those lurkers out there to post something. Since we're not going to split up the group (r.m.r.heli got voted down, yippee!) lets get to know each other better. Lets each post a short introduction. Sort of on the lines of: Name: Physical Location: What you fly/float/roll: Magazines you read: Affiliations: Comments: I'll start with myself. Name: Iskandar Taib Physical Location: Bloomington, IN. 2 hours from Muncie! What you fly/float/roll: Mostly control-line sport and combat. I compete mainly in AMA Fast Combat but I try to fly a little bit of everything, including some R/C, and some Free Flight. I've recently been dabbling with model rockets. Magazines you read: Model Aviation, Model Builder, Flying Models, MACA Newsletter, New England Combat News. Note total lack of all-R/C publications. Affiliations: AMA, MACA. No local club. Comments: Being a cheapskate, I tend to buy things in bulk. I sometimes sell the excess over the net. Notable recent "adventures" were CyA dropper tubes, 50,000 feet of .018" C/L wire, 600 feet of .25 mil mylar, and 600 Estes BT-60 tubes (you should have seen my living room at the time). Future ones may be carbon fiber shaft material, and latex bladder tubing. I'll try to be at the Nats this year.
