Thanks for the excellent article by Peter Lee regarding Fighter
Contests at the AKA Convention. He makes some excellent points
and really highlights why the event should get more attention.

Two corrections are in order.

1) Joe Schiros (sp) isn't from Texas, although people in his home
   state of Michigan may wish he was. The famous Dr. Kyte lives
   in Grand Blanc.
2) The event at AKA was not "sponsored" by GrandMaster and Sky 
   Delights. They only sponsored the trophys for the event. We
   appreciate them doing it too!

Peter raises the issue of the Fighter contest not being scheduled
at a good time. (It was held this year on Thursday afternoon and
conflicted with Kitemaking Competition). What would be a better
time??

The general schedule currently is:

	Wednesday: Intermediate & Experienced Sport Kites
	Thursday: Kitemaking and Fighter Competition
	Friday: Novice and Masters Sport Kites
	Saturday: Demonstrations, Rokkaku Challenge, Team Ballets

If you have suggestions, post them here or mail them to Jim Miller.

BTW: There is some great fighter footage in the convention video.

So how do non-Americans get a copy of that fighter footage ?  Or is 
it only available to AKA members ?
