Lulu.com
Just do a search for "INAV" and they will all be listed...
These are the ones that I had down at USIC, and range from $24.95 to $34.95, based on the number of pages... Be patient if you order, as they take a few weeks to print and ship...
(All proceeds go to the INAV account...)

At the end of this year's Kibbie Contest Andrew informed everyone that he had reserved the Kibbie Dome for the same dates (July 6 through July 10) in 2008. If he doesn't get a better turnout than we had this year (excluding the F1D Team Trial Contestants), I fully expect that 2008 will be the last Kibbie Contest. I, for one, WILL be there!!! I urge everyone interested in indoor freeflight to make the effort to come and to bring friends. We need to promote this contest and attend or it will be the end of this FANTASTIC contest and FANTASTIC indoor venue.
