If you are driving to Jackson a brochure & map of how to get here can be found on Tracy Crook's web site at http://www.rotaryaviation.com/new_page_3.htm. Flying info can be found at http://www.airnav.com/airport/MS71. 'Scheduled to Appear,' either with presentations or to be available for Q&A are several folks who are already flying or manufacture & sell accessories for rotary conversions: Ed Anderson Tracy Crook Bill Eslick Bernie Kerr Ed Klepeis We've got plenty of space in the house and a couple of our neighbors have offered hangar apartments for additional lodging. Just throw a bedroll & towel (& tent if you if you prefer) in the car/plane & we will find a place for you to sleep. Spouses are welcome; it's looking like they may have more fun than us rotorheads. Possible activities include antiquing/sightseeing in a historic town near Slobovia. If you are thinking about coming, drop me a line at ceengland@bellsouth.net or call at 601-879-9596 so we can be sure no one goes hungry. :-) Tupper's having the time of her life getting the house & meals prepped, & I've got a clean hangar for the 1st time in almost a decade. Ya'll Come!

It seems to me that if you were flying on a knife edge left wing down that the trap door would do no good if the other hole remained open. Also any recommendations on wing tip landing light, nav and strobe configuration would be a big help? Thanks Bill RV-7 Quick build Massachusetts
