Flying -Alternative Engine Fly-in & Roundup (HHHAEPCCOSFR)
Funny you should mention another rotary
round-up. EAA Chapter 12 in Houston, at
this months meeting, was just discussing this topic and the viability
of our chapter sponsoring this sort of event. They have charged me and my
buddy David Staten with determining an interest. We were planning on
making it more of an Alternative Engine Round-up, Fly-in since many of the
issues could be similar between the various platforms. (of course if we want
numbers it will be for alternate engines and RV's....those RV guys will come to
anything with RV in the name <g>)
Not sure about the exact time of year, but
if it is between about April and October in Houston it may be deemed the "Hotter and
Humider than Hell annual Alternative Engine Proof of Cooling Concepts and Other
Stuff (and RV??) Fly-in and Round-up. Hmmmm, kinda catchy.
;-) Should be interesting on a flyer.
I was at the Round-up at Bill Elsick's
place as well as a nice Velocity Symposium north of Dallas last year (about 15 flying
Velo's). Both really nice events. We would be looking at
Ellington (EFD), La Porte (T41), Clover Field/Pearland International (LVJ) or
Houston Southwest (AXH) as potential locations. All very suitable and
nice venues...three very near NASA, for those interested. Also, very
close to Hobby (HOU), Houston's
second big airport for commercial flights.
Y'all's interest in us pursuing this
should prove compelling to us following through with this event.
