Executive Vice President Campaign statement

Mark T. Smith
Shawnee, Kansas

My name is Mark Smith and I'm running for the office of AMA Executive Vice
President. I am currently the AMA District 9 VP, holding this position for
the last three years. I have been active in model aviation most of my life
and held numerous leadership positions in clubs through the U.S. I am
asking for your support because I believe I have the broad background needed
to meet and exceed our President's expectations as his Vice President. The
past three years have been extremely busy and rewarding as depicted by the
following milestones:

District IX VP
2005-Present

the carburator because I just was moving it and now I dont know where is
the factory setting.....How to adjust it to the best position???

I said it all in the subject line.

Zeno’s Warbird Video Drive-In Big August 2008 Newsletter

Hello RC Warbirders ---

You’re invited to drop by Zeno's Drive-In www.zenoswarbirdvideos.com
for this month’s summer six pack of a half-dozen WW2 combat aircraft
documentary films playing over the Internet. We're paying special
attention to the 65th Anniversary of the epic Ploesti mission,
including a new film on one of the participants, the 98th Bomb Group,
now playing at the Matinee. The newsletter is a little late getting
out because Zeno has been beavering away producing several new
programs.

Just like the day we opened on July 15, 1997, all the World War II
aircraft videos on our site are showing for free, for your viewing
pleasure

I did some testing with wooden dowels and Styrofoam coffee
cups and the winner is LOCTITE Power Grab FOAMBOARD
CONSTRUCTION ADHESIVE. This costs about $5.50 at Lowes for a
10.1 ounce tube designed for the small caulk guns. It has a
resealable cap.

(1) The bond is much stronger than any other adhesive
tested, gently pulling the 1/4 inch wooden towel glued to
the top of the coffee cups at its best leverage angle
always ripped the cup, the bond never broke.

(2) It was much lighter than any of the other glues, it has
a consistency of foam itself, it is about as heavy as
shaving foam.

(3) It is amazingly easy to work with, I only needed a
single piece of 3/4 inch tape to clamp down the one spot
most needing to be clamped, the glue itself holds the pieces
firmly together. A wet paper dowel can easily remove every
trace of excess.

(4) It seems to wash off with water, at least before it
dries.

My club is ending its season as the Soccer teams take over
our flying field, what is the best indoor plane for someone
with very little skill?

I have an Italian ST 75 that I just love and it got clobbered the
other day. The carb and muffler were basically destroyed but the
crankcase and all the internals escaped miraculously. I know I can't
get Italian parts and I was wondering what I could expect by buying a
new carb and muffler set up and using them on the Italian crankcase.
Are the Chinese parts compatible with the Italian stuff? I hate to
give up this engine as its performed so perfectly for me.
