Holy Cow! Thanks for the reminder Da= vid. I kept thinking the last Roundup was just a few months ag= o so I had plenty of time. The Texas rotary fly-in at Dennis' p= lace must have reset my internal clock.

The CNC machine shop that I'= ve been using for many years is winding down operations so it looks like I'= m going to have to gear up to do CNC in-house if I can't find another good = source. There are lots of places to get prototypes done and many shop= s that will gladly do 1000 parts at a time but the ones that can do small b= atches economically (like 20 pieces at a time) are amazingly rare. Th= e last batch of parts for gear drives is almost gone so it's crunch time.&n= bsp; And I was hoping to simplify - sigh....

Even if I find an= other CNC shop it will take time to qualify them and get drawings verified = so it looks like I'll have to skip having the Roundup here this year. = LOE might be a good opportunity for the first fly-in appearance of t= he 20B RV-8. Gotta go look up the date for it.
