2. Tom Moyer gave out handouts describing his proposal for the Combat Fly-In planned for May 5th 2005. Discussions centered on possible airplanes. Steve and Jim described their proposal to build some planes from plans they had just acquired. They plan to use simple building techniques with plywood silhouettes covered with foam which could be easily sanded to shape. They are considering selling some to other members for costs. Hopefully, they will have a prototype by January. Tom raised the issue of prizes for the competition. Jim suggested that the Club allow $100 for prizes and Tom can determine how he proposes to allocate the money.
