The Saturday Flyin is ON. I’ll be at the hangar by 8AM. I’ll have the
Hooters wings and the local EAA chapter has asked if they can serve burgers,
chips and drinks. My cell number is listed below.
It appears the entire east coast will be sitting under a large high-pressure
area from western MO east. Furthermore it appears this high will extend to
the Great Lakes and Florida. Mother nature seems to have lent a helping
hand. Weather for Saturday is expected to be 64 degrees, 0% chance of
precip, winds out of the south at 9. No weather two days either side of
Saturday.
As I mentioned in a prior post, all activities will occur at the airport,
i39, Madison Co. Airport, Richmond, KY. As a reference, it is about 20
miles south of Lexington, KY.
Vendors of which I have either received giveaways from or have received
strong assurances from are as follows:
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, shirt, hat.
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
Aircraftextras.com
Brian Kraut’s post light system.
I would also encourage anyone having anything to sell, to bring it along.
Stick your name on it and lay it on the table. This will be the total
honesty system. Everyone chip in and make sure nothing leaves via someone’s
pocket, I sure would like to see all my tools, dies, Dynon, etc. be left
behind as I need them just as much as the next guy:-). I only mention this
as someone once pocketed a handheld out of a cockpit at a national
gathering. I hate to even mention it but there it is.
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. I have
also heard from several pilots who are offering free RV rides to potential
builders and builders.
Direction via car:
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.
Via air:
Anyone flying in, be sure and check the NOTAMs as there is restricted
airspace on the east side of I-75 for the army depot.
For you newbies; I have turned the Van’s starter kits into pre-punched
condition. If you want to work with some aluminum, please feel free to do
so. There will many experienced builders here to show you some pointers.
You will be able to deburr, dimple with squeezer and C-frame, back rivet,
buck, pneumatic squeeze, hand squeeze, roll a rudder front, and install
nutplates. There will also be composite pilots here and I will bring along
some West System and glass. My first airplane was plastic so give a shout.
