Mojave April 19

[flyingriki]

Searched "Mojave" and don't see you folks talking about this:
http://www.mojaveflyin.com/2013/

Growing and sort of a one-of-a-kind event that includes interesting metal planes and: "CAFE Triaviathon Champion RV-4 to attend"

Check the list of aircraft coming. If that isn't interesting........oh well.

This is going to be a collection of amazing experimentals, I have been posting the link in Yahoo groups to drum up interest.

Looks like the experimental I learned to rivet on will be there.. so will I. (It is that reno racer wildfire). Thanks for the heads up, I would never have known.

I'll be there to hear Paul speak.

Just talked to the designer of the Berkut. He's developing a new engine installation for Dick Rutan. Am heading down tomorrow to visit and see the cool stuff as well as pick up my engine mount that doesn't seem to be getting any closer to the mailbox....
Stopping off at Ly-Con to pick up my new cylinders and check crank and rod balance. Exciting couple days!

I plan to fly down in the morning and just enjoy looking at airplanes and talking to builders in a low-key fly-in (as opposed to the Big Shows) They asked me to talk at the dinner Saturday night, and think that should be fun. We'll be talking about lessons learned in Mission Control over thirty years that can be applied to how we can better build and fly our experimental aircraft.

WOW! For anyone that hasn't seen Paul's plane up close, hooeeee! What a paint job. Really sweet.

Great day out. With plenty of RV interest.

Dave and Diane Anders were there with their super RV-4.


Craig Catto flew his RV in with some interesting experiments from the skunk works.


A good selection of Reno-ware and the usual Mojave glitterati - Dick Rutan, Mike Melville etc showing off their hardware. A few more snaps at my photobucket album

Anyone See Kevin Eldredge's (mr Nemesis NXT) in his new Titan 409 RV-8? He is supposed to be running around there somewhere.

Kevin was there - we talked quite a bit....but he said that his RV-8 was hidden away in a hangar on the field somewhere because it is still naked.

I left for Big Bear about 2130 - winds were gusting pretty high, but straight down the runway - and I sure didn't ned much of it. Light winds at 11,500 for the trip up the hill, and calm in the BB Valley - all that wind must be going somewhere, but I don't know where!
