I heard rumors that certain people, who will remain nameless, cheat by flying in two days early. I would have had to leave Austin on Monday in order to beat the front. I doubt that Tracy and Laura would want me under foot for that long. I did manage to go out and fly around the local area, but it was sour grapes, knowing that the Rotary Fly-In was in full swing... without me. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate next year. Maybe we can bribe the weatherman for a clear forecast. ;-) Looking forward to seeing some pictures, Mark S.

Ed,

Well, thanks a lot for making us feel even wor= se for not attending the rotary event of the year.  Here we sat in sev= ere-clear weather but unable to breach the front which stood in our way of = getting to Florida.  No amount of positive thinking would make it go a= way.  I heard rumors that certain people, who will remain nameless, ch= eat by flying in two days early.  I would have had to leave Austin on = Monday in order to beat the front.  I doubt that Tracy and Laura would= want me under foot for that long.

I did manage to go out and fly around the local area, but it was sour g= rapes, knowing that the Rotary Fly-In was in full swing... without me. = ;

Hopefully, the weather will cooperate next year.  Maybe we c= an bribe the weatherman for a clear forecast.  ;-)

Looking forward to seeing some pictures,

Actually, Bill Eslick and Linyda c= ame roaring in about the time I figured I had the Longest Distance Rotary award locked up.  So we missed the rest of you guys =96 but I DO understand about the weather {:>).

 

  It was a smaller than norma= l group due to the weather and other factors we all know about, but there was a lot of interaction and many new faces.  We had one couple and one individual drive down from Canada for the Rotary Round up =96 which gives you some idea how important it is to those interested =96 particularly the new starters.  We ended up with three flying rotary aircraft plus Tracy's nearly completed RV-8 20B powered.  That is going to be some airplane (assuming Tracy finishes it, of course).  I asked and he told me that he intended to f= ly it to next Sun & Fun. 

 

But, Laura pulled me aside and cau= tioned me about expecting too much on the RV-8 finish date {:>).<= /p>

 

A rotary engine rebuilder and race= r gave an outstanding tear-down and briefing.  Really knew what he was talkin= g about =96 but, it was refreshing to hear him say that there was a number of things about the application of the rotary engine to aircraft that Tracy co= uld better answer.  Richard Shone showed his new castings for his one roto= r project =96 boy, is that ever looking good.  Richard appears to be in the home stretch with proof of concept proven and now just some minor modifications to the casting patterns.  This gentleman does know his m= echanics and physics =96 not to mention how to machine.

 

The Cozy Girrlllls (Chrissi and Ra= ndi) were there showing their products (focused toward the canard end of things = =96 no pun intended).   They had a nice motor mount integrated with T= racy's redrive mount the new bezel for our joint project on the EFISM.  This one was painted and really looked snazzy.  I'll take a photo and post it later.  They had several other products as well, but I won't go in= to details =96 contact them directly if interested.

 

 

Electrical power went out as we sa= t around the campfire Saturday night and it was entertaining watching and speculatin= g about the cause =96 which ranged from a "reportedly" major substation explosion several miles a way in Bell, Fl (we did hear several s= ounds and pops) to a local line fuse popping.  I must have not been too seri= ous as a line crew had the power back on by 1100PM.   But, people did gravitate to the campfire and the only thing missing was marshmallows.

 

Several folks got their first rota= ry ride, Richard ran his one rotor and it sure sounds like its putting out power.&nb= sp;

 

So hopefully the weather will be m= ore cooperative for the next rotary round up and more folks can make it.  = You just can't beat it.

 

As always, simply can't say en= ough about Laura and Tracy taking the time, effort and $$ to put this effort together each year.  Laura was almost laid back this time as she is us= ed to handling over a hundred folks =96 so this was almost a cake walk for her =96 right? Laura?  Again, a lot of effort was exerted and while a bit smaller than normal it was a great crowd to spend three days with.

 

Best Regards

Ed:  Looking at the we= ather on-line it appears you have some beautiful flying weather today so "gi= t er" airborne and head south!

 

Fly safe out there...
