NetHeads, The weather's looking pretty good for me to get to the Gathering in well under two hours, since I shouldn't even have to stop for fuel. I'm probably leaving as early Thursday morning as I can, a little later if I'm dodging fog, but I'd expect to be at MVN by 11am or so. Troy says he may have to go later in the afternoon, and if that's the case, I may wait for him and get there later. Some adult supervision wouldn't hurt on my first cross country as PIC in years. I'll just get up high and cruise, saving altitude for gliding if I need it. I'll probably have to leave Saturday morning and miss the banquet, due to a family funeral I need to go to on Saturday. Too bad I can't be in on the Sanding Song!
Like Jones, I'm definitely in the running for Ugliest KR. My cowling is fairly hideous, and there are lots of little things on the plane that just "aren't right". You're welcome to tell me about stupid stuff you see on the plane, but you can be pretty sure I already know about most of them! The primer job stinks, as there is dry overspray everywhere, so you can save your breath in telling me that sanding my wings down might get me a few more mph! This whole plane is clearly "unfinished", and I realize that, but at least it's flying! That storm off the coast of Florida might keep the Florida guys in their hangars...
