Pool Party Report -- A new record!

Software went to DUATS for their 2007 complete rewrite of the (free) Golden
Eagle GUI and DaVinci Software for their complete redesign that is given
(free) to Kidventure for the kids to design real working aircraft.

Hardware went to Clarity Aloft for their no-earcup in-ear headset that
straps on BEHIND the head rather than over it, Zaon for their
transponder-based collision avoidance box, and Mutt Muffs for their doggie
hearing protector.

Kitplanes column in the December issue due to press by the 10th of next
month.

BTW, I found that "coin" that Conic Corporation minted to commemorate the
work we did on the real-time video transmitter on the Lunar Rover of Apollo
15. I'll send it to you next week. That was a real interesting job ...
you try and figure out how to keep a microwave dish bolted to a jalopy
bouncing around and over the hills and rills of the Moon and still pointed
within one degree of boresight on a targer a quarter of a million miles
away.

So what did you name "Best of Show" this year?

what a party!"

I'll second that! Besides the great company, the best part for me was
*real* corn on the cob, picked fresh and still with FLAVOR. Ahhhh...
the memories from my Indiana childhood. I can't wait til next year.
