Hey Bob! Please keep me in the loop and let me know if there's anything I can do to help get it setup. I believe there are a few other fellows I can pull in to support this as well! Just drop me a pm at your convenience

When I lived in Ordando in '73 we were allowed to fly on a Navy site in town. Probably locked down by Homeland now.

Maybe you can get Dave Wallack to bring out the Perky that did 108 at The Nats a few years ago.

Jim your biggest help would be to have a Perky ready to fly

Bob .... you got it!!

I built two of them. They're no where as fast as yours, not by a by a long shot, but I can certainly qualify for the slowest flight

I just told my flying buddy about the possible event and he said he'd like to be there .... assuming he doesn't have to work .... I'll fly one and he can fly the other, if that's all right

. There's three more guys I haven't heard from as yet who will likely lend a hand as staff or backup pilots for me.

It's something of a challenge to just get a score.
Then fiddle with the airplane and engine to improve.
There's no BOM.
Go ahead and be a borrower or a lender.
