Prez Deppe

We got 2004 off to a rousing good start with our January In-Club Contest! Many thanks to our participants (23 of you entered 60 models) and congratulations to our winners who are listed elsewhere in the newsletter [See page 3, Ed.]. The general consensus seems to be that it was a pretty well organized and enjoyable event. A few of you even mentioned that we should make it an annual happening. I am certainly amenable to that idea and we can discuss it at February’s meeting.

I would like to single out a few individuals for their efforts in making the contest a success, in particular, Jack Lassiter for originating the idea and serving as contest chairman. My appreciation also goes out to Cliff Davis, Mark Persichetti, and Terry Tutyshaevers for their administrative work; Mike McDanal for taking care of ordering the prizes (nice work Mike – they looked very good); David Reinecke for his printing assistance; and Derek Brown for making a photographic record of the contest. Also, I would be quite remiss if I didn’t give a special salute to those of you who served as judges.

Again, thanks to all contest participants for all your hard work in completing your models (you are all winners in that regard) and congratulation t our contest winners!

I would also like to thank Jim Hammond, owner of Blue Yonder Hobbies (Iliff and Chambers in Aurora) for stopping by the contest and bringing us a gift certificate, which we ended up raffling off as a door prize.

Since we don’t have a program scheduled for February’s meeting, that leaves time open for a leisurely “Show-n-Tell”. Feel free to bring in your contest entry and hold forth on the work involved in the project.

Speaking of projects, if any of you get the urge to make a detailed model of the Me-109, our very own Derek Brown has produced a CD of the Me-109G10 that may be the ultimate research volume for that aircraft (information on it is applicable to other G models). I hope you all got a chance to view it at the contest – I am just about motivated to join the “wired world” so I can use it on my own Me-109 project. May it be a great commercial success for you Derek!
