Does anyone have a favorite source for carbon fiber cloth?? I can tolerate

OK,
Now to the important items. What are the food plans for the Gathering?
Dana and I are arriving noonish Thursday and will be camping through
Sunday Morning. What is the schedule for the restaurant and are there
any cook outs planned? Supper Thursday may be a problem.

Gotta love mail lists. They bring out the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
In many ways they actually magnify these traits. OK, enough of this
dribble and on to something constructive. Looking back over the
Gatherings I have attended, one thing really stands out. It is all
about preparation.

The verdict is in, it weighed 1,064.7 lbs, and the winners are Jamie

prerogative, the rules were changed after the close of the contest; two

I would suggest that you do a few tests. I would suggest making a

technique of putting the glass and epoxy between Visqueen layers and

I have watched the discussion about winglets and thought a little

Hi Oscar,
Ashok Gopalarthnam, who designed the new KR airfoils, developed a
program much like what he used to design the airfoils to design the
contours of intersecting surfaces. An example that he used in his paper
was winglet design.
I would love to see him do his magic on the wing fuselage
Hi Guys,
Like Dana Said, I am finishing up my first RV-7A wing and ready to start
on the second one. All the talk about the "black death" proseal on the
RV lists makes me chuckle. If you can't pound it or bend it the RV guys
start panicking. You should hear them talk about the minuscule amou

screwed up.

Guess I blew it. The next message after Dana's post about unsubscribing
