Usually the beer fairy event is on Monday, Vans banquet on Tuesday, and the Rivetbangers Otter meat binge is on Wednesday.

So if I drag out my RC stuff (mostly 1/4-1/3 scale fixed wing), do I need to go through this process?

Re: Fresh meat!!!

Hi Zak!

Always glad to have another 6A (the best looking' RV ever designed, BTW ) builder/flyer in here! I just celebrated 10 years flying my 6A last summer. I have a 150hp O320 E2D in mine as well.

Have fun with the build, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. :thumbsup:
