There were several surveys and proposals. Although I did not attend the Wednesday night official LSF meeting, I had already left, I think the proposal by Guy Russo was adopted. It goes something like this:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Saturday-Sunday: F3K and ALES<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Monday-Tuesday: F5J<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Wednesday-Thursday: Unlimited<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Friday-Saturday: RES, 2M and Nostalgia </div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">(I’m not exactly sure where F3J comes in the lineup)</div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The idea of the schedule was to bunch like events together as much as possible. As a motor launch only guy, I’m enthused about this schedule, as it offers 2 days of ALES followed by 2 days of F5J! How sweet is that? I’m not sure the exact dates are pinned down yet, but ALES/F5J should be about July 20 - 23 or 27 - 30. Maybe this is posted to RC Groups. For a great time flying, please consider attending the NATS. The camaraderie cannot be beat (except perhaps at a Montana contest!). Everyone should attend and compete at least once in this one of a kind event.</div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Carl</div><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Palatino; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; " class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div>
