Laura Crook informed me that RSVP for that best of all
gatherings – The Shady Bend, Rotary Round Up - are down 50% from this
time last year.
It just occurred to me that perhaps some of you may have not
realized - the rotary round up has been moved up a week from its normal last
weekend in October - in hopes of finding better weather. So that means
the round up is 17,18,19 October or the next weekend after the one coming up!
So if you thought you had plenty of time – you don’t! Get
that email to Laura ASAP!
laura@rotaryaviation.com
Details and your personal invitation await you at :

She is placing the food order NLT this coming Friday!!!!
That’s like 3 days from now!
So half of you are either going to have to bring your own
food, travel into Bell, Fl to eat (not bad food for a small place – but,
a long, long walk) , beg from those who did RSVP or better plan on getting
skinny.
Richard Shone is going to provide an update on his aluminum,
one-rotor engine – always interesting to see what challenges Richard has
faced and overcome. Carlos Gonzalez is going to do an
engine tear down and Laura would like a couple more speakers if possible.
Naturally, you can hound Tracy
with questions about the newer EC3 and its EM3 as well as everything you wanted
to know about “Auto tune” or simply rotaries in general. We
can all razz Tracy
for not having the 3 rotor RV-8 ready to fly – YET! I keep
telling him, if he would stop vacationing in the mountains of Colorado and stay home to work on it, he
would be finished. But, will Laura listen – nope!
But, the biggest priority is to get your name into tonight or tomorrow
to Laura if you are going to attend (and want to eat). Let’s help
the lady out folks.
Hope to see many of you there.
