THIS COLUMN will have less text than normal so that some extra photos and graphics can be included. Let's begin with a correction on the charge cord schematic: Correction: Some artwork glitches crept into the charge cord electrical schematic shown on page 92 of the June issue of Model Aviation. As shown above, transistor Q1 base should be shown connected to the juncture of the LED and R1. Also, the cathode part of the LED symbol was not shown, but the connection to R1 was okay and the anode was properly oriented. The assembly pictorial and associated text in the June issue are correct.

The ECS this month brings a request from Jack Reinemeyer, 2550 26th St. W., Bradenton, FL 34205; Tel.: (813) 753-3163. Jack wants to share Electric with others in his area. Now I do know there are many other Electric modelers in Florida, because I've heard from many, and have met some at past meets. What's needed now is for those near Jack to hook up with him-for that's what the ECS is all about. So do it, please!

FLASH! This is a late-breaking addition to the '93 KRC Electric Fly-for early arrivals. There will be a "night fly," hosted by SEFLI (the Silent Electric Flyers of Long Island) in cooperation with KRC on Friday, September 17, beginning at dark. SEFLI's Larry Sribnick (of SR Batteries) will coordinate. Light up your Electrics any way you can (no fire, please!) and join in this "pre-event" event. References: "Nytique," in this column, December 1988, and "Illuminous," May 1989.

"PLEASE INCLUDE A SASE...with any correspondence for which you'd like a reply." These or similar words should ring familiar with readers who actually make it to the end of this column each month. I know that's many of you, because I get lots of mail. But some folks miss the fact that my address really is as it appears just above on this page-I really don't live or work at HQ! While a letter sent via AMA does eventually reach me, it's faster if you send it direct.

THE ELECTRIC Connection Service brings in a modeler from the First In Flight state. Don Miner, 232 Dundeve Circle, Hendersonville, NC 28792, tells me that there are very few Electric fliers and not even one formal club (including the wet kind) in his area. Additionally, there's not much in the way of fields either, and so I'm appealing on Don's behalf for all interested in that area to connect with him-especially if you have a field to share in your back pocket! Perhaps you folks can combine knowledge and resources, and develop an E-club for all to enjoy. And do let me know how it goes.
