Thanks for coming. The odds weren't quite that good; my -4 & Andy McCain's -8 didn't make it outof our hangars until after you left. I was really disappointed that there weren't more RV's; last July we had around 25. Sorry I didn't get to spend more time talking to you (& picking your brain for tips on installing a rotary in my -7). Ya'll plan on coming back this fall. Charlie I'll try to get some pics up asap.
