I won't be making it, Charlie.  I've made excellent progress over the last couple months.  The engine is running smooth, and cooling effectively, and I did the last layup, a wing fairing, this past weekend;  but, I still need an FAA sign-off, and there is no way I'm going to get through a flight test program in two weeks.

I'm setting my sights on next year, though.

Hi Group,

It's less than 2 weeks until our Rotary gathering here at Slobovia, & the Event Coordinator (Wife) would like an update on the number of participants.

Here's a list of those who've responded so far:

Bill Bradburry

Bobby Hughes

Ken Powell/spouse

Tracy Crook/spouse

Richard Sohn

Steve Boese

Dale Harvey

Earnest Christley

Bill Schertz

Phil White

Gordon Alling

Thomas Giddings

Bob Tilley

Mark Steitle

Dennis Haverlah/spouse

Bob Perkinson

Monty Roberts/spouse

If you'd like to come but aren't on this list, can you drop us a line or give us a call  sometime in the next few days? Arrival & departure times/days are flexible; if you need to arrive early or depart late due to weather, it's no problem.  It looks like we might have one 'private' space available if there's anyone left who'd like to bring their spouse/significant other. We can also handle a few more in the den, etc, if you can bring your own bedroll. Plenty of space for tent camping, too, and there's a private camp ground about 2 miles away if you need full hookups for a camper.

So how about it? Any more takers before I send the general invite to Patrick at Contact Magazine?

Thanks,

Charlie & Tupper

PS: A few have volunteered to do presentations on Saturday. Richard on his single-rotor, Steve on SAG, Bobby (volunteered by me) on superchargers, and Monty on a project yet to be disclosed. Hopefully Tracy can tell us about the new EC-3 & software. Anyone else willing to talk about their project? I'll have a computer with Open Office & (old) MS Office, and a video projector & small PA system available.

Thanks again,

Charlie
