The Land Of Enchantment RV Fly-In
The nation's premier "hassle-free, gentle pleasures"*  fly-in for RVs.  It's all about rest, visiting with friends and relaxation.

2009 Dates: 10/9/09 - 10/11/09
Santa Teresa Airport, NM (5T6)

The bummer is that it is all about RV's.  But it's a free country and a very open event.  No reason a bunch of rotaries can't show up.

Looks like you Texas folk just may have taken up a torch that is going to be hard to pass back to Tracy.  :-)

Holy Cow!  Thanks for the reminder David.   I kept thinking the last Roundup  was just a few months ago so I had plenty of time.   The Texas rotary fly-in at Dennis' place 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 shops that will gladly do 1000 parts at a time but the ones that can do small batches economically (like 20 pieces at a time) are amazingly rare.  The last batch of parts for gear drives is almost gone so it's crunch time.   And I was hoping to simplify - sigh....

Even if I find another 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 the 20B RV-8.  Gotta go look up the date for it.

Hey Tracy,

Any plans for a Rotary Round up this year?   It is time for me to be making my schedule requests and planning for the trip.   I know everything on the home front is undergoing major change.

I am planning on making it to LOE this year almost for sure.
