I contacted Bob Bush a few days, along with most R-66 Club Members, asking him what his ETA might be as he had been absent of late.
I quote his prompt response:
"Hi, Roger
I miss you guys! Have been beset with model problems lately. The F-100 is grounded, waiting for parts. Two years ago I built an A-4 from Skymaster. Took it to Toledo '13 it was a hit with it's complete replacement of air with hydraulic. But it went in due to flutter after 10 flights (my fault due to inadequate rudder servo).
A year ago I bought a Fly Eagle, A-7 Corsair II. So many changes were required I'm just now test flying it (you all have banned FE, understandable) mine is airworthy but not ready yet for competition but I do plan to have it at the DOG's show. So, good to hear from you. Hope to see you next year."
Subsequently I responded:
[TABLE="class: cf adz"]
[TR]
[TD="class: ady"]"to Bob
Oh yea Bob I am well aware of your A-4.....I sure want to eyeball it! ! ! !
Good luck at Dogs....delighted it back on the agenda.
Cheers, Roger"

Great news Don. I assume the guys will be coming up thru St Louis. Tell the guys to be sure a fill up with gas in Missouri. Seems like it is always really expensive in Illinois.
Jason and I are leaving early afternoon on Wednesday as well. See you next week.
