IMPORTANT CHANGE OF LOCATION-Directions at the end of this email.
Due to the tremendous volume of emails concerning flying in to the
get together at i39, Richmond, KY on February 28th, I am moving the
central gathering point from my shop to my private T hangar at i39.
I'll have my tools there for newbies to play with along with some
cloth and West System. The two Van's starter kits will be available
for anyone to grab and work away on. I'll drag out a TV and be
playing several DVD's and RV videos. We should a nice local
attendance with press coverage. I figure we all want to see RVs
anyway and hang out at the airport on a Saturday……….life's rough:-)
Anyone flying in, be sure and check the NOTAMs as there is prohibited
airspace on the east side of I-75 for the army depot. I have also
heard from several pilots who are offering free RV rides to potential
builders and builders. Several people have also asked what time it
starts: When the first person gets there and when the last person
leaves.
TeamRV is planning on performing their Oshkosh routine along with
some just fun formation flying. A formation flight from the Ohio
Valley RVators has issued a challenge on TeamRV's website about a
competition. A nice little back and forth is going on right now:-).
I have received an email from a member of The Falcon RV Squadron and
am awaiting a confirmation.
The sponsors signed on so far to assist us with free giveaways is
impressive and still growing. I would certainly encourage all to
remember this gang.
Control Vision: free total AnyWhere Map software package
Trioavionics: $200 discount coupon on the purchase of an EZ Autopilot
Avery: A box of various tools and such
Kitlog Pro: Paul has donated a Kitlog software package.
Van's: Two starter kits
Grand Rapids: 10% off coupon on the purchase of an EIS engine system.
Riteangle AOA: $50 off coupon on the purchase of a new angle of
attack unit.
I've still working on some more sponsors so the list will expand.
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. I'll have my gold powder coated rotary 13B there for
anyone to criticize or as an impetus to slap me around for making
such a choice.
After the flyin at the airport remember, anyone is more than welcome
to stop my the shop to help finish off the keg……………..I'd say the
Hooters Wings will be long gone.
You can see the entire text of what is going on the main page at
vansairforce.net
I'll try and keep everyone informed as to any new giveaways and look
forward to the 28th.
My cell number is 859 625-2844.
Direction for driving to the airport, (lots of people are driving in)
Off I-75, take exit 77 (KY route 595) and turn west. Go about 200
yards and make a right between the BP Station and the Shell Station.
Go exactly 2.0 miles and make a right onto Madison County Airport
Road. The airport road will take you directly to my hangar (Matter
of fact someone kept going straight once and drove into the hangar,
pushing the 172 out the back thus requiring the subsequent purchase
of the Bonanza……that's a different story).
Anyone wanting to stay over close to the airport, there is a Holiday
Inn Express behind the BP and a Days Inn (I think that's it) at the
exit ramp. The airport is about 15 miles from my house/shop.
Here is a list of the better motels within 10 minutes of my
house/shop.
