In response to my iPhone post regarding helping Bob Glidden with 'Mouse Trap' and his commitment to fly 'Mouse Trap' to next year's gathering, I had an epiphany. While on my commercial flight home from IN, I was thinking of what needed to be done to realize the goal of 40 KR's at the 2012 gathering. I am personally committing to assisting those within my circle of influence realize their goals with their planes and realizing the greater goal of 40 planes at the gathering. If those of us with the knowledge and experience share with others who may need the extra help or encouragement, I believe we can achieve this goal.
I am helping a comrade with a few things he needs to accomplish to get his craft to the Copper State Fly in next month, he has already committed to attending next year's gathering. With Bob Glidden, my 'comrade' Marty Skalon, and myself, that's 3 committed so far. Would love to see whoever purchases Charlie's plane fly that in. Richard Seifert and Richard Shirley could both be pursuaded to attend by Steve Glover. That's potentially 7 KR's... 33 more to go... Who's with me?? What can we all do to assist our fellow KR enthusiasts?? I live in sunny AZ... I work for a composites company... I have two spare bedrooms at my house and access to a hangar. I would be willing to assist anyone who needs help with their project. You could stay in my home for a limited time until my wife kicks your scraggly ass out. It was brought to my attention that someone may be looking for a boat stage project. I currently have two for sale in great condition. Both have wing spars and one has a set of Diehl wing skins. Both are on gear. Anyone wanting to contact me concerning this email and my projects for sale, please contact me off net. Lee Van Dyke Snakebite 420LV 480-694-8846
