Hello fellow glider guiders,
After a long wait, your 2009 US F3B team is now ready to sell you raffle tickets for chances to win one or more of an already great pool of prizes.
The raffle will be managed completely free of paper tickets. All tickets will be generated, and distributed electronically via e-mail. If you know of someone that would like to buy some raffle tickets but does not and will not use e-mail, then we do have a way of taking care of you too. So this system should not exclude anyone for any reason....
Now for the good stuff. We already have in our prize pool the following items from some great manufacturers and distributors:
JR 12x 2.4 radio - JR Radios and Horizon Hobby High End Composite Competition Glider from HKM USA The Radian electric sailplane from Park Zone and Horizon Hobby the Vapor electric airplane from Park Zone and Horizon Hobby DVD 3 packs from Radio Carbon Art A custom made Carbon Fiber Bar stool from Joe Rodriguez and more to come.
Please log into www.teamusaf3b.com and go the the Raffle page, and enter your information. You can pay via paypal, or by check. If you require special handling and would like your ticket numbers generated and mailed to you, we can do that too.
We will have an apparel store up in a little while for t-shirts, hats, sweaters and such, but we are not ready for that just yet.
Please log on now, and get a bunch of ticket numbers. This promises to be a great raffle. We are looking forward to a great practice season leading up to the August 2, 2009 World Championships in Ivancice, Czech Republic. Please help us get there and represent you the best we can, and buy some raffle tickets.
Thank you all, and enjoy your weekend.
Mike Smith Tom Kiesling Mike Lachowski Kyle Paulson Craig Greening Fred Sena Don Barker
Your 2009 US F3B team. |

Fund raising is going pretty well. We are well along our way to reaching the amount we had budgeted for the trip. I should have some T-shirts with me at the next few contests in case you haven't ordered any online. I also have a few hats.
We had a good contest practice weekend the 16th,17th of May. Well is was a hot weekend, really hot, close to 100.... Slowed things down a little. Some big lift in distance. Mike Smith and Tom Kiesling both had 31 lap distance flights. Lift moved through the course on me 3 minutes into one of my flights which was only 28 laps. Tom had some good speed runs during the contest and Mike Smith had some really smoking 13's in practice on Friday.

Thanks to all the folks who bought T-shirts and hats at the SKSS contest this weekend. For those who weren't there, you missed some really nice flying weather.
I'm going to have more hats by the LISF Contest for those who wanted those hot items.
And don't forget your raffle tickets on line. |
