Hey guys,
Please reply to the list or at least to ken.powell@fnf.com as well as Rusty. I'm always interested in the small engine stuff.
BTW, the secret to making a 2 stroke live is EGT/mixture control. You gotta run relatively rich in order to cool the piston crown. This is because the 2 stroke fires every stroke so there is only 1/2 the time for the piston to cool as compared to a 4 stroke. Look me up at Charlie's flyin next weekend or Tracy's Fall flyin if your are interested. BTW, I bet there are a lot of us with a similar background in racing 2 strokes.

Thanks for the plug, Ken.
Six days to BBQ DAY. All of you in striking distance of Jackson MS, please plan to eat some BBQ & talk rotaries and aircraft.
Location: Slobovia Outernational Airport (MS71) 10 mi north of Jackson MS on the Memphis sectional
Approx. 4000' usable with decent approaches.
Email me direct for a map if you are driving. (Don't trust the online mapping services for this one.)
You are welcome to come for the day, or stay the weekend. Just throw a bedroll in the plane/car & we'll find you a place to sleep that's out of the heat. If you plan to overnight, please call us at 601-879-9596 or drop us an email at ceengland@bellsouth.net so we can get breakfast stuff lined up.
I've got a couple of still-assembled engines in the hangar. If there is enough interest from new rotorheads, I'll put Ken to work disassembling them when he arrives on Friday. Please cast your vote on that one too. (Ken, it might be easier on you to just bring some parts. ;-) )
If you've never done any a/c metal work, you can come & play with drills & rivet guns.
No formal seminars, but lots of knowledge is in the air when we have these events.
Come on down!
Charlie
