Dave,
Believe me - it doesn't get as dirty.
Especially if you wear it more than one day. I wear black all the time as I ride
bikes in Queensland. Riding a bike you can pretty dusty, white looks bad after a
few hours - black lasts for days. Besides Queensland is much hotter than
your moderate climate in the States and I've noticed little difference in a
light cotton T-shirt.
However if you like white - different strokes
etc.

Black? At Oshkosh in summer?

Ben,
How
about T-shirts for identification, black ones with a big silver rotor on the
back and a small breast rotor on the front.
Perhaps Tracy sells something
like that?

All,
Got
back from Oshkosh, talked rotary with several rotary people, and a few
newbies. One thing I have tried to do when people ask about the
rotary installation is not to give people a pair of rose colored glasses.
AL tell them that if they just want to bolt on and go, then the rotary is
not there yet, put on a Lycoming. But if they enjoy tinkering, some
problem solving, and building things by hand, then it may be a good option
for them. Don't want to discourage people from the rotary movement, but
also don't want to paint a false picture only to have them start, then
change, and badmouth the rotaries, we get enough of that the way it
is.
Rotary airplanes on the field were, Chuck Dunlop, Dave
Atkins, and one other fellow, I met on Tuesday that was in homebuilt
camping area that I cannot for the life of me remember his name. (sorry, I
know you are on the list, please chime in if you read
this)
As far as the 11:00 am rotary gatherings, I think I did
not do a very good job of organizing that. Perhaps next year I will try to
do better. I was there Tuesday and we had three guys, Wednesday two, and
Thursday I got tied up somewhere else, and time got away from me. I think
there were more that showed up, but we had no way of identifying each
other. I am not sure what the best way to make it more obvious is, perhaps
next year we meet at one particular airplane at a given time, instead of
just in front of the homebuilt headquarters. There were about 75 to 100
people hanging around there most anytime I walked buy there. Maybe we can
get Tracy to fly his RV8 next year and that can be the meeting place.
Might make for some easier to tell who is there for the rotary, and who is
just sitting in the shade. (actually, perhaps all those 75 to 100 people
were there for the rotary meet up! ;)
David Cook - I was
hoping to meet you this year, I met a guy last year that is in your EAA
chapter (if I remember right) and he told me about your project. Sorry we
didn't cross paths.
Tracy - you were missed there this year. Just
isn't the same without you there. Perhaps next year with the 8.
:)
Ben
