Ed,
 
And if I recall correctly, on the flight down, you earned the right to keep the "Dead-stick Landing Award" for another year.

Ed,
 
Wasn't that the gathering at Grandbury, just south of Dallas?  Temps near freezing and the wind was blowing like the devil.  The Austin fly-in was at Breakaway Airpark (Dennis' place) and had really nice weather.

Good point, David
 
I always blame it on my spouse, figuring that she might learn to fly/land a nose gear aircraft where a tail dragger was out of the question.  Turns out she would never even take one flight in it {<wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile[1].png>)
 
But, that was one exciting takeoff in the wee hours of the morning, taxing up to the fuel pump had been a chore with cut grass jamming the wheels and simply sliding alone with locked wheels on the wet, cut grass.  Then came take off time, pour the coal to the engine and slowly, slowly began to accelerate, I was just about to abort when I hit a bump and became airborne – so figured once in the air might as well stay in the air.  That was when we all flew to Austin Texas (Charlie, Tracy and me), it was the longest bumpiest, coldest flight I have ever been on.  Landed with 6 gallons of fuel – but, the gathering made it worth while – even flying a tri cycle {<wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile[1].png>)

Ed, 
That's why friends don't let friends fly tri-cycles.   ;-)

Yeah!   But, trying to take off in a nose wheeler after a rainy night and the grass being cut and up hill is a different story

There's no one actively monitoring the freq on the ground (private, non-towered field); perhaps that's why no freq is listed.

Of course, all the ' private airport, land at your own risk, etc etc' cover-our-behinds language applies. :-)

But it is 4800 feet of turf in very good condition. We've had a Velocity, several King Airs, an MU-2, even a DC3, (and a blimp) all land (and depart) safely.

We're one month out, so I thought I'd post a reminder about the upcoming engine gathering here in Mississippi.

If you haven't RSVP'd yet, please drop me a line at ceengland7@gmail.com, or mcsophie@gmail.com, or just give us a call at 601-879-9596 & let us know that you're thinking about coming. I'm trying to get a head count of us rotorheads before having Patrick Panzera post something to the other alternative engine groups.

If you have something you're willing to talk about (even a 5 minute presentation), please let me know. These gatherings are great social experiences, but we also learn a lot by seeing others' work. (I know that I have.)

Feel free to call or email if you need additional info.

Thanks,

Charlie & Tupper
