Thanks Frank. Checked out your club site, very nice. Do you have any type of barrier's on the flight line, something to lean on.
Thanks,

No, but we may remedy that before the contest. I have an SPA Antique contest coming and we will make something for shin guards at least! What do you have in mind?

Boy Pete, You know how to hurt a guy, Lil Dave (DP#3 I'm DP#2) is still laughing about that one. YES I have moved up one class thank you....
Lil Dave is flying one of two airplanes, he has a Tipo with an OS 61, pipe and spring
air re tracks, His other plane is an Arrow with a Rossi 61 rear ex with spring air also.
As for me (the old man) I also have a couple of hot rods that will make the trip.
First, I have a Tipo like Lil D's with a OS 61 vf FIRE (pipe down the side of the fuse) My second
plane is A Omega with a YS 61 long stroke, Spring air re tracks.

Hope you can make this one pete, as Frank and I are going to try to make this a very enjoyable
contest.
Dave .....

Dave, I'm very sorry. I promise I will not bring it up again! below is a pic of my Atlanta 60, I purchased this from Ron a few years ago, I drove all the way to Port Richey FL. and back to ATL to get this one in one day. It weight is 8lbs. 6 oz. same YS setup as your Omega, I want to change it over to Spring Air retracts and Digital servos myabe it will lose some weight.
I have back surgery coming up in about 10 days so will be slowed down for a while, but hope to get everything done. I can't wait!! Pete PS: a pic. of one of my favorite planes, hope to build soon.

Heck, I would've driven to Florida to pick up that one..

Treat her nice!

I think the Aurora is the best of them all. But they're all good...
