Folks - I would personally appreciate fotos of current installations who will be in attendance at this event for reference as I install my 20B. I'm sure that others who are considering alt engine installations would appreciate that as well. Out of curiosity, is there a repository available from past events? Unfortunately, I will not be attending (as much as I wanted to) due to a previously planned trip with my wife.
Thanks,
Luis

Just a reminder about the alt engine flyin Memorial Day weekend. If you think you might attend, please let me know soon, so we can be prepared. :-)
I've already heard from several among us who will have new info to share, so I hope you can make it.
Thanks,
Charlie
