No reason why we couldn't fly over to Cross Cirty (~10 mins flight)
throughout the fly-in to have a look at them.
I've never understood the lack of flying once you arrive at such an
event. Don't they drive their cars during a car-meet?
Also, no reason not to have several regular "rotary round-ups". We
already have Charlie England sort of doing that in MS. If someone else
wants to arrange and/or host something at Lakekand, go ahead. Actually
there now is a yearly RV flying at Lakeland in January. No reason not
to combine that with a "rotary round-up".
As long as Laura is willing to do it at Shady Bend (it's a LOT of work
for her), I would sorely miss that.
Point already made: Tracy's hangar.

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.

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?
