Prop Balancing Special at the Badlands 2011 Fly In

[Walt]

Last year we had a GREAT time at the Badlands fly-In so needless to say we will be going again this year (Link to last years event)

Larry asked if I could bring my balance equipment this year as he wanted both his aircraft done and there is no one in the area to do it. So, it only makes sense that if anyone else would like this done at the fly-in I will be offering a special "Fly-In" Special for just $125! I will be designate Friday 9/9 as Prop balance day so plan on being there if you want to get this done.

So now you have another reason to attend the infamous "Badlands" fly-in besides the great folks, food, and flying.... don't miss it!
