THIS MONTH WE'LL OPEN with some sad news, then look at upcoming E-meets, new products, testing motors, "watts it like?" a golden opportunity for NEAC, and one "I did it!" My friend, fellow E-modeler, and fellow E-columnist Charlie Spear of Mocksville NC departed the flying field of life on Monday, February 27 following a recent illness. I first met Charlie at a KRC meet about a decade ago and had flown with him nearly every year since at KRC and/or at the Annual Labor Day Vintage Reunion in Selinsgrove PA. I always enjoyed these shared happy times and I will miss Charlie a great deal.
KRC Electric Fly
The 16th annual KRC Electric Fly was held the weekend of September 16-17, 1995 at Quakertown, Pennsylvania on the "borrowed" Buc-Le Aerosportsmen field-the largest model flying site in the immediate area. Buc-Le refers to the Bucks-Lehigh (PA counties) club-primarily a Giant Scale wet-power group that is blessed with this spacious facility. The sponsoring KRC club is based about 20 miles south of this field.

THIS MONTH'S TOPICS include the Electric Connection Service, some exciting new E-products, "brush dust," and two Electric points of view. The September 1994 column offered an unusual Electric Connection Service listing: that of Ron Torrito and his Internet address, along with the invitation for anyone else interested to send me their Net address. Bill Jones of Wilkes Barre PA can be found at his father's address: KEITHJONES-CROSERVE.COM. Please keep the ECS in mind; it's designed to help you find E-interest in your area. Just write me!

THIS COLUMN INCLUDES the Electric Connection Service, a meet announcement, a new Electric book, a motor mount improvement, charge connectors and arming switches, and a followup on speed control chokes. Ken Cashion sent an unusual letter describing a new purpose within Electric aeromodeling: Electric flying for a specific purpose. In particular, he has become very caught-up in accomplishing specific tasks, including timed tasks, spot landings, etc.-much like the League of Silent Flight (Soaring) folks have been doing over the years. Such is part of the idea behind the League of Electric Soaring (LES) and Ken would like to share information with anyone interested. Send three first-class stamps to Ken at 157 Tennyson Cove, Picayune MS 39446; Tel.: (601) 798-5807.
