This is a post that went out this morning..........This get together IS NOT an RV get-together. It is just to have some fun and tell some airplane lies. Anyone and everyone is welcome. Great chance to maybe share some valuable information or learn some of the same.
OK, since it is the first of February Ill repost info about the little get together at my shop on Saturday, February 28th. I sent emails out to the various RVlists, the Ohio Valley RVators group, the local EAA, a composite airplane builders site and just a bunch of ol airplane friends. The Ohio Valley RVators are using this particular Saturday as an official UFO (Ultimate Fly Out). In addition, Tracy Crook has faxed me some info on his Rotary packages. Along this same line, I have spoke with Conversion Concepts http://www.conversionconcepts.com/rv-6-7.htm about attending. This is the company I am going with for my custom-built engine mount. Ill have my rotary 13B there for anyone to criticize or as an impetus to slap me around for making such a choice. For what its worth here is a pic of the state of my 7: http://rvflying.tripod.com/aero1.jpg I drafted my oldest son and recruited another 17 year old to act as taxi drivers, or designated drivers, from the airport or to and from hotels if you choose to partake in the keg and hooters wings I will provide. They will haul you around for tips. My shop door leads into my office, which leads to a bathroom, which leads to the game room with pool table, fridge and big screen TV. Certainly if you want to drive, there are numerous hotels within 10 minutes of my house. If the weather is nice enough, Ill roll the airplane out to make more room in the shop. Ive got the From the ground up series on VHS and Team RVs Sun & Fun plus Great Northwest Adventure DVDs. I also have a professionally done production of a national gathering of the composite airplane when I was the national gathering host in 1999 & 2000. Ill have these running on a TV in the shop and on the HD big screen. In my shop I have everything from a pneumatic squeezer to pneumatic cleco remover (for sale to anyone attending, great for the wings), my battery powered Dynon, Garmin 430 and Grand Rapids EIS for any newbees to see. If any newbees want to play with some tools you dont have, feel free to grad a piece of scrap alum and work to your hearts content. There will also be fiberglass people there with a wealth of glass knowledge to share. Ive still got a bunch of carbon fiber laying around you can play with along with some West System. My address is 1036 Countryside Drive, Richmond, KY. It is about 10 minutes off I-75 and about 20 miles south of Lexington, KY. Mapquest will get you to within two houses then look for the RV sitting in the driveway:-).
