No Resturant
The Hicks resturant has been closed for months.
I have a grill. We will do hot dogs and Brats.

Chuck, we're certainly sorry you can't attend and even more about the reason. Prayers are with McCright's family and friends tomorrow.

Louise, the restaurant has been closed for a little over a year now. Domino's does deliver out here and I think Mr Jim's, too.
In regards to parking, like Jay said, no need to park over on the ramp, it's in pretty sad shape anyway. Take the cross-taxiway either at the 14 end or by the flight school at mid-field and there's parking by Jay's or parking on the empty slab by me (between 593 & 589) across and just north of RV Central.

Sounds like a blast... I'll see what the wife has on the honey-do list for me.

Fabulous day
We had about 20....maybe more....folks show up for the work day and a lot of work was accomplished. I expect someone will be sharing photos soon. Unfortunately, we left our camera at RV Central.  A lot of cleaning and spiffing up took place. Even the firewall was polished, albeit not to the mirror finished Rick would want!  This is, afterall, a restoration to airworthiness (and representative of original condition) of a working and developing prototype, not an award-winning show plane. Pretty fun.
As we approached Hicks this morning, a little before 8 am, we heard other RVs approaching the field. But, surprisingly, there was already a crew of a half-dozen or more folks working on taking the plane apart and cleaning. More and more showed up and the work flew by.
Jay and Carol prepared a great lunch of brats, dogs, potato salad, beans, iced tea, and chips. Soon after, the crowd dissipated. I think the heat was dropping motivation or, like us, previously made appointments on the calendar called.
Thanks for all who came out.

Great update Louise, thanks. You missed a hot day at Wing & Wheels at Hobby. Glad you're home ok.
Now is RV1 90% done and 90% remaining?

It was indeed a special day yesterday! Dan and I had a blast. We didn't take many photos, but perhaps Doug and Ernie will post some later. Here's my write up with a few pics of Dan, Walt, and DR working on the RV-1.

It's really cool that Will and his son Dan, along with many others, showed up with such enthusiasm! "The Carlton team" just started their RV7 a few months ago with no prior "aircraft" experience but they jumped right in and did a GREAT job! It really was a great day and I'm looking forward to the next session! This is a great project and I am honored to be a part of it.

I enjoyed your blog page. It was very cool to have a couple of teenagers join us. What a great group!

Thanks Louise. I can't begin to express how special the day was for Dan and me. We both had "chicken skin" for a while. It's truly an honor to be a part of such a great project and working with such a great group of folks. I wish Bruce C. could have been there to see how RV folks treat each other (couldn't resist)
