Thanks for offering to help with the fly-in Larry.
I'll put some details down and send them along. Any suggestions that you may
have are certainly welcomed.
I'll do what I can to get Ed Hooper and Jim to come. We'll see. I have
invited both with no reply from either as of yet. Also looking to invite several
of
the original "players" - both guys who did the initial flight testing, early
prototype assemblers, hangers on, etc. (most are still in the area.)
I think the biggest hurdle is to just get guys there with or without
aircraft. Dennis looks good for bringing his A/C and Robert said the same and I'll
work on Bob Bonde. That would make 3 flying FEWs in one place - gotta be a record
of some kind?! There are a ton of FEW builders that I am not in contact with,
that I need to get in touch with - even a couple of flyers. With any luck
this can put the fire back into some of the guys who have dropped their projects
or are on the sidelines at the moment. If you are in communication with anyone
outside our "group", please pass on the info as it develops. What about Ken's
partner? Jim Wickham makes an annual pilgrimage to the US, so Robert and I
are working on him to come at that time (no aircraft in tow, but a ton of FEW
flying and building experience as he is now nearly done with his second FEW).
Not sure when the next RFA magazine comes out but maybe a small ad / invite
would stir some potential builders to the event. Tom Preuss has responded and
wanted us all to come to Copperstate instead (early next month) - too early for
Dennis and Bob Bonde and I need time to get this rolling. I will ask him
about RFA coverage of the event. Also going to contact all of the magazines that
would be interested. Now I need to work Tom into flying his Mustang to us. I
think in an effort to get several planes to attend I need to open this to any
Mustang replica - you agree?
The local CAF chapter has a Mustang, P38, and a bunch of other warbirds @
Camarillo. I'll see what I can do to get us access to the P51 and maybe get it
out to climb on and possibly get someone to fly it for us.

Ed, even if we have only a single flying FEW, it will be worth while.
The opportunity to hear directly from those who are flying will fire up
the enthusiasm, and the most important thing as I see it, is the
opportunity for the guys who have had disappointments and communication
issues to come to know you and the true "state of the union" down there.
It would be important to have a PSRU on display, and time for a
presentation from you on the engineering that has gone into it since you
took it over. I, for one, would be interested in a visit to your shop,
and perhaps there you could present your ideas and hopes for the future
of the project. We all can bring photos of our projects. I don't know
whether you might have access to a digital projector that read from a
card reader -- I imagine most of us are using digital cameras now.
Access to a real Mustang -- or better still, a flying demonstration --
would be the icing on the cake. If a TF version, maybe a drawing for a
ride??
Looking forward to it.
Ken Melvin

Ed...
Yes I would like to come. Just pin down a date. It would be great to meet you
and the
other builders.
One name comes to mind is Jack Hunt who lives in Wichita, KS Phone no. is 316
524 4800
He had his FEW at Oshkosh the past two years. Invite him with all of the others
coming
he may also come. Gary

Ed....
The next deadline for the RFA magazine is Oct. 15. This will not do us any good
as
mail date is Nov 15th or there abouts. You should get in touch with Tom and clear
this
with him as to mailing date. Gary

You can put some information on the RFA web site. Gary
