What a way to start off the newsletter.

Paul Walker from up Washington state was practicing at homejust one week before he was to leave for Muncie (three daystravel time) and the U S Nationals.Hold on, it gets better.

Paul gets it put back together and places in the top three inPAMPA Stunt at the 2019 "Nat's".Paul's history: Many times "Nat's" champion and FAI WorldC/L stunt champion. He also traveled to Muncie last year andentered the 20th annual FCM contest. We all knew we wereflying for 2nd. A good friend but a fierce competitor. Yes, hewon.

**************** "Nats" competition.

This is what it takes to be a top competitor. The judges lookclose for the details.

Pilot and builder Jack Buckley represented the FAI U S Scaleteam in 2010 with a version of this model. (scratch built).

****************I am not ashamed of the gospel.

Over the 25 years that Fellowship of Christian Modelers hasbeen an active ministry some people have asked me,"Why doyou do it?" You guys go outside the church and preach Jesus.Isn't that the duties of the church or an ordained minister?People should leave their religion at church on Sunday."

It is the climate in today's world. but the Bible tell us in Matthew28:19, Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizingthem in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the HolySpirit.

My life verse of Scripture, Romans 1:16-17For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power ofGod that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the

Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness ofGod is revealed righteousness that is by faith from first to last, justas it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."

When I think of the price Jesus paid for me how can I not helpbut share this with people around me? John 3:16 say's it all.I will love Him in return.

**************** Serious work here.

L to R Jeff Traxler and Mike Eber have been C/L scale judgesfor 9 years and they take their jobs serious. Even the small 1/2Amodels gets the same going over as the bigger models.

L to R. The late Jack Sheeks and Bob Haywood takes a closelook at Richard Schneider's J-3 Cub. In "authentic" scale thejudges gets close to the models were as others are judge from 15feet away, 1/2A's just 5 feet. Richard and Jack were teammembers on several FAI U S scale teams. I think Richard tookthis airplane to the 2008 FAI's.

***************Nats competition.

Steve Eagles is one of the top scale competitor's, always in thetop three, except a couple years ago when his 1/3rd scaleNewport 17 went down........schsbuck............sorry Steve.

****************

Scripture for the month. Matthew 10:33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my

Father in heaven.

What a scary thought, meeting with God when this life is overand Jesus saying I know him not. I think I'll stick with Him!
