t2002_o04_320.jpg The raffle was a Hanger-9 P-51 Mustang, complete with Saito 100 engine and JR662 radio, completely assembled and ready to fly! The kid who pulled the winning ticket out of the barrel pulled his own dad's ticket. And to think that we had left room in the van for it! [grin]

MOVIE CLIPS

(Choose a format to view by clicking on one of the two links provided. The native format for the video camera (Olympus C-700UZ) is Apple Quicktime MOV. This version will produce the best picture and sound possible, but the file sizes are large. The Microsoft AVI files were converted using Lead Multimedia Converter and while much smaller... their image quality suffers (a lot on some movies, very little on others). If you have trouble viewing these by directly clicking on the link, try right-clicking on the link, choose save to disk, and play the video ouside the browser. The MOV files require Apple Quicktime player or plugin, and the AVI files require Microsoft Windows Media Player or similar. The AVI files are converted using an Indeo video codec, if you have trouble viewing the video.)
