THIS MONTH I'll cover three meet announcements, April errata, understanding brushless motors and controllers, a prop mount suggestion, battery accessories, and more speed control information. The Fourth Annual Southeastern ElectriFly is scheduled for Saturday, June 4 near Dallas, Georgia. The meet is sponsored by the North Georgia Flying Circus club, and member Gene Norman wrote a nice letter telling all about it. The meet will feature Pylon racing, Climb and Glide, slow and fast flying competitions, plus open flying. Attendance has been growing at the rate of about 30% per year, and you can add to that. Details are available from Gene at 1031 Pinecrest Drive, Forest Park GA 30050-3334; Tel.: (404) 960-0863, or call Mike Green at (404) 386-5016.

THIS MONTH I'll look at a range of reader input, some significant industry news, and the nature of speed control operational adjustments. What's rewarding about writing this column is reader input. It's also rewarding that readership is rapidly expanding; new names continually appear in my mail, in addition to the regulars. New readership continues to produce theme mail-repeat topics I've seen come in steadily over the years. One theme is the difficulty that is best characterized as "I'm the only one. . ."
