=9CPirate=99s Bar and Grill.=9D They cooked for us each day, m

ention they may need. I propose a series of informal clinics scattered throu
ghout the Southeast Region this summer and this fall. The idea would be to g
ather at someone=99s home field for the day, brief and fly, brief and f
ly, brief and fly The guy hosting would help with the local logisti
cs like ground transportation, water and lunch, but not necessarily pay for i
t. Actually a very simple concept; just gather and flying for the day. So to
start, I=99ll volunteer for the month of May. We gather at Enterprise
, AL (KEDN) early on Saturday morning May 13th about 0900 Central Time and t
ry to get in at least two hops before lunch. I=99ll have lunch deliver
ed and you can pay me later. We try to get one or two more hops after lunch a
nd then depart for home about 1700ish. Four airplanes would be good
eight would be great! I can get a small discount on 100LL and there=99
s plenty of ramp space and briefing room. Who=99s in? Email me back if
you can make it. Now who=99s going to volunteer to host in June? I pr
opose June 24th but up to you. July?

I still have the remnants of my engine that Broke a connecting rod. I pulled a
couple cylinders and I think the eight remaining cylinders should be usable. The
engine is in a Russian shipping crate, and on a shipping mount. I have the
baffling, but all the accessories are gone. I want it gone.Make me an offer!!!
Please contact me off list as I no longer follow the list.
