| Greetings Gentlemen! Hope everyone is ready for the biggest R/C event of the year! Once again the skies will be filled with all form of R/C aircraft. From $40,000 jets to $200 foamies battling to knock each other out of the sky. And on the ground, the biggest baddest tank battles anywhere in Canada! This weekend the fee for non-members will be reduced to $15.00 a day or for the whole weekend . This is so you can pay the $7.00 entrance fee to the airshow to show support for our fellow R/C’ers . This will also get you a ticket for the big draw this weekend on the Trumpeter T34/76 with full interior, the 2 1/72 R/C Abrams battle tanks, and the full metal F-35 diplay aircraft, a KW Garrison battle hat ! When you arrive at the gate inform them that you are with the CanAm Tank Club and that you have to unload at the tank field that will let you through to our field below where you can park… Also in support of our host the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club we will not be offering our own supplied lunch as usual. Instead you have the choice of bringing your own food and you can use our BBQ, or we would much rather see our members support the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club by buying their lunch from them. Their prices are quite reasonable like basically for $10 bucks you can get a burger, fries, and a pop. They usually have peameal bacon in the morning and also have really good quality dogs for lunch as well. Thanks to everyone throughout the season who contributed battleday field fees and “collision” fines. Your payments totalled $285.00! That’s a lot of telephone poles! This money has helped continue our field upgrades and we have a surprise for all of you to see when you arrive! HOWEVER don’t think we are letting you off the hook! Bring your quarters! The Collision fines will still be in effect! If there is enough interest we would like to have a Tamiya/Clark/IBU/Elmod/ Class 1 battle set up. For all the serious battlers listen up! After much discussion we have decided to create a Class 1 qualifying system for selected tanks to create a class that are basically equal in combat. The following conditions will be applied and tank testing will take place between 11 and at 12:30 on Saturday with a Class one battle scheduled for 1:30. 1. Tank must run at scale speed. Hotrods need not apply! This first class will be restricted to WW II models since moderns run substantially faster. We will set up another class for moderns if there is enough interest in doing so. 2. Tank must be able to strike targets and receive hits at least 10 meters apart. It will not be mandatory to have a Tamiya apple but it is recommended.3. Your emitter must be recessed 9mm in a tube. I will have straws and goop on site for those who need it! 4. ALL Tanks will be set as Standard Tamiya heavy and we will use the parameters for this class with hits creating a certain amount of damage. The setting will be: Damaged state 1 to 4 hits 12.5% damage. Severely damaged state 5 to 9 hits an additional 12.5. Reload time will be set to 9 seconds. When all the tanks who want to participate have been checked for speed, and hit range, and target range we will get everyone together with their Clarks in set up mode and program them all at once. For the guys with IBU’s who want to participate in this class please program them before arrival at the field. When we have everyone set up we will do the hit/damage/kill setting to make sure everyone is on the same page. Finally, please let us know if and when you are coming for planning purposes. Any other questions at all let me know! Look forward to seeing everyone! _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..."

They will slowly sink in and decay and be a pita to replace (assuming a decade of sitting). |

| I am making an application for a Leopard tank. One of the 50 Leoi A5's they can't get rid of. Now that Jordan has backed out. They want to remove the old house so we could assist with that... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..."

I already know that the only spot I fit easily is as the loader of the left side of the turret I wish ... Even just to park at the end of the road leading to the club http://www.milweb.net/webvert/a3298/94122K-W Club Goal?
