 Fred,
  I think Kagan said somthing about quiting indoor to fly 3-D on his
new flight sim. Give him a few weeks Im sure he will return. I also
am still trying to get you guys into Lakehurst I had made another
appeal to the Air Force, still waiting.
  If you like come to Colorado Springs in March, we have a 2 day F1D
contest, its small but nice and you cant beat the view outside!--- In

everyone from beginners to world champions.
