Default RE: Texas Wings Senior Pattern

Update. We have a few more weeks to go before the TX Wings event. http://www.seniorpattern.com/contests.htm Since the summer was so hot we had to put off building the drawing and raffle prizes because the small parts I did make this summer was curing before I finished laying them up [X(]
Hopefully we will have them done for the event or shortly after. (Dave, I should be doing your Cutlass at the same time). Tony did finish one of the Dirty Birdys and it flies great. I was hoping for a Dirty Birdy and a Cutlass for the pilot drawing and raffle but they will both be Dirty Birdys. I'm finding it very difficult to get support from vendors even though I sent out letters in May so that's why we've included two Dirty Birdys with the other prizes.

This is our first event so we are making some mock runs to prevent some hiccups. We have concessions wrapped up. We are finalizing volunteers and judges still but we have many candidates and this should be wrapped up this week.

Lindy tells me there will be 5 pilots from Oklahoma, maybe 1 from Arkansas, and a few more from South Texas so we should have around 25.

Plaques will be given out like at the Oklahoma and Thunderbird events (maybe Tony or Blake will show us their 1st place plaques they got at the Thunderbird's event).

It is a grass field so if you have small wheels you might get some bigger ones

All proceeds go to the field to help support our membership drive.

Thanks, Tim
