Also I thought I'd stickied this before. It is now. Let the World Tour begin!

Status: offline 		Previously it was discussed that each pilot that flew Grace would/could add something to her. What exactly did you have in mind for this that would not add weight. Possibly signing the shipping container with name and location?

Status: offline 		Come to think of it, how is it going to be determined where it goes to next? May I offer my services whereby for moderate and variable fees (depending on how much a person is willing to spend) I could establish a prioritized list? No, no, it isn't necessary to thank me with grandiose words of praise and appreciation. It just another example of my selfless commitment to the Crew. (And filthy lucre is always an appreciated incentive.)

Status: offline 		Actually Raymond, I made a list according to who expressed interest on this thread and then placed them in a basic order heading West. I am thinking now that it should just be in order of those who posted an interest. I will have it done in time for the CC fly.

I would love to see people put their (club?) emblem on Grace. Weight is an issue but only from a balance perspective. It should carry the weight as long as each one is small.

Status: offline 		You could re-cover it in stickers and as long as the engine is on step it won't be an issue.

I put a small sticker under the wing and signed it with a sharpie.

Status: offline 		Well Mike, I guess your idea will work too - and once again a money making scheme - I mean another act of charity - of mine is thwarted at birth. Oh well, I'll come up with something worthy someday.

In the meantime, maybe we could post a photo of each pilot holding her Grace-ness before ("after" maybe if we're lucky) each flight. Thus providing for good and all proof that we are just normal humans and not the heroic figures that I'm sure most non-Crewsmen picture us as.

(Does each pilot provide his own receiver, charged batteries? Should participants at Rog's bring such "stuff"?)

Status: offline 		For the RR you guys can use my TX. After that I will be pulling the GWS Rx and everyone else can add the micro Rx of their choice.
That was my stoopid idea.

Status: offline 		Batteries ARE included. Just add your own RX. I thought about including a RX but that introduces channel and shift probs.

I included a sticker of mine that Vic put on the tail!

Status: offline 		Well, I keep expecting dF to let you guys know that I'm adding a page to my site for GRACE. Mostly to keep track of it during it's travels. There have been a few stumbling blocks getting something appropriate, but I WILL have it ready soon. Unless something changes, dF will be merging his site with mine. (believe me, I am really happy about this!)
