Default RE: South Central Basic Bootcamp

Eddie, Jarred: has the list of attendees grown larger or shrunk?

I ran and tuned both of my engines yesterday. I had not prepared to actually fly (batteries hadn't been charged since mid Nov - even Duralites need a charge once in a while) because of high wind prediction but it turned out to be a pretty day - wouldn't you know it. I made the shift over to Amsoil and didn't want to do that under contest conditions even though this is not a contest you don't want to have any problems happen away from home. I did find that I had not tuned the throttle curve on my WH 260 until yesterday. Man, I can't believe I flew it like that all last season - no wonder some of my landings were, shall we say, less than perfect?!!

I will be coming up from Longview and I think I go right by the field so if there is still some sunlight, I may stop by and check it out. Eddie, I will bring my two "sun abaters" since I think you said it was an north/south field and we will need them in the morning. Is there anything else you think we need that I can bring?

BTW, who else is staying at the Comfort Inn?
