Valid point. One other consideration is that if the
rotary powered canard builders are shuttled in, others don't get to see their
engine/installations unless everyone is shuttled back and forth to the paved
strip every time another canard arrives. Paul Conner 13b

I bet there would be plenty of
volunteers to shuttle people from the hard surface runways to shady
bend. That is until the event is too big to hold at shady
bend... which is several years away...

Some thoughts
of mine for next year's roundup. We should consider finding a location
that can handle the canards since they do not like grass runways. Location
would have to provide a building we could use to feed and hold our "hangar
talks in". The building could be an EAA club house or an empty hangar. The
flyin should be dedicated to only interested "rotor
heads".
Hi
Bernie,
I absolutely agree
with the above. The only additional caveat would be that it be close
enough to Tracy and Laura to make sure they don't miss it. At some
point, the fly-in has to leave Shady Bend, though it won't be quite the
same. Lot's of people come to these things with lots of interest,
and no first hand knowledge of rotary engines. Tracy's hanger is
sort of a treasure chest of goodies, where people can actually fondle
engine parts. As much as I pick on the backwards plastic plane
types, they are a growing segment of our population, and we should try to
accommodate them. Maybe NASA will let us use on of their shuttle
runways :-)
Cheers,
Rusty
Lakeland is looking for
events to be held at their airport. They also have all the facilities.
Another thing, we could have a “parts swap” during the
event?
