Killing off SWAC!

Actually IMO the delaying until this Oct. is a political move and a good one. It will almost for certain get SF reelected.

Maybe this kind of explains it a bit. One previous SWAC vendor, that incidentally just joined Jetero RC, stated emphatically at our last meeting that the first year was OK, the second did not pay expenses and he wasn't going back this year. Perhaps the vendors aren't making enough to satisfy their time, cost and effort, especially in May.

As most well know, it's very difficult to get a big turnout in TX for much of anything not just local. Too much to do otherwise. Up north where flying is significantly limited in the winter, shows, etc., go very well. Here we have Jan-Feb to build and can fly most of the time. The vendors are at the big shows elsewhere. Mar-May is the best time ever, but lots of holidays and getting the yard and garden in shape. Jun is the kids getting out of school and starting vacations and flying before the real heat sets in. Jul / Aug is time to head for the beaches/lakes and enjoy stuff besides mowing, mowing, and mowing and did I say mowing? Too hot to go much of anywhere. Comes Sep, there are events every weekend, and getting the stuff ready for hunting season. Oct. brings all kinds of events, and family school sports plus football, plus the best of year's saltwater and freshwater fishing, plus small game hunting and bow-season for deer. Nov is big game time and excellent saltwater fishing. Nov and Dec. bring family times and holidays and more football.

Just when, outside the events of Sep -- early Nov, does one have time for toy airplanes? I think maybe SF is searching for a time when he can get vendors as they are attracted to the really big shows in the winter and spring. It's a tough job in TEXAS, but that is a cost of living in eternal vacation land.

OTOH, Jim, what's wrong with using one's assets to be political when one is running for an office. Your comments are certainly political. Mine too, huh?

Cain,

With all that going on, when do you FLY??

Not really as model aviation is my main priority outside my family. OTOH, I do keep very busy doing club work, running for AMA offices (;-))
