Default Aternative power fly-in

For anyone interested, I read in Contact magazine that they are having the alternative power fly-in in Jean, NV this weekend.

Wade: Are you by chance putting an "alternative" engine in your RV-8, or just enjoy keeping up what others are doing?

Default 200+hp Lycosaur

No, I have a Lycosaur. I do enjoy experimenting, the search for knowledge and understanding. That spirit makes Contact magazine a nice read.

Am considering one for the 10 in my future though.
