Well, my weather seems to be about two days behind yours, so maybe I'll get some stick time this weekend. It's crappy here.

Hello all
Update on the Barth. Mason has the Waco all framed up all electronics installed and engine mounted. The CG is at 28% with no weight added and came in at 29 LBS as you see it. Covering will start next week after Top Gun is over. She sure is a Big Beauty

Hello all,
Well, Top Gun is over for another year got to see Mitch fly his big red Waco and many more great planes. It started raining Thursday after noon and all day Friday the field was so wet Saturday was called off. This is what the field looked like Sunday what a mess.

Dan thanks for sharing your pics. The build looks beautiful and the light weight is impressive. A great inspiration . . .

Still early in the process but having fun. The Mokie arrived and it is incredible. I held it today for the first time. Can't wait to install it.



It was wonderful to meet Mitch in person and see his Waco up close at Top Gun. Some incredible planes out this year. The rain made it interesting and although we didn't see as much flying it was great to share stories back at the hotel. Met some really amazing people and can't wait for next year!

Too bad about the weather. Can relate.

At our Wings & Wheels Scale Rally last July at Chatham, Ont airport a huge storm, including a tornado, swept through the field Friday evening and did some serious damage.Wrote off the Cadets glider and we had no power other than generators through most of the remaining weekend, Luckily that was pretty much it and along with the flying Saturday evenings dinner went off without a hitch.

You did have to go barefoot through about 4-5" standing water to the vehicles and porta johns. Warm enough to make that bit fun.

Your machines make my 1/5 Pica look like a toy!

p.s. Anyone know how to add my Waco # to my profile to show on the bottom of the posts? Need a reminder of what that is, as well.................

For reasons beyond my understanding we need to hit a critical mass of 100 shirts before the order goes in. I had 5 color printed shirts front and back made for the event I organize, and with 40 shirts they were $13.00 each.

Hey guys
I'm sure we have enough shirts to get them made the hold up is getting the artwork. As soon as Bill gets it he will pass it on to Steve and then to the printer. Bill is waiting just like all of us so unless we have a graphic designer that can make new artwork up I'm afraid we just have to be patient and wait.

Goodness! D2091 here. I should have said 2 large, not 2 medium. I could go for another one if it will help the count.
