Hi All,
Looks like this year our list is shrinking a bit and for this I'll take some of the blame. I'm sorry to say that due to life getting in the way I will not be able to attend Rough River this year. Today I was just informed that my son now may indeed get a 1 month early return from his deployment in Afghanistan. He will probably be arriving into FT. Polk LA the weekend of Rough River. As with the Army there could be a last minute delay but I cannot commit for sure on RR. Then on top of that My daughter, son-n-law and 3 grandkids are planning on being here just in case my son is coming in so they will go to FT. Polk as well, or just stay here if he doesn't. Family in town ;-(.
Just too many things pointing to me not attending this year. I wanted to tell you all before but I was unsure. As we get closer I had to make a decision. Now with all that said... There is still a chance that Landon my son will be delayed. I ask the family and they will be fine with me squeezing out for Friday night and all day Saturday without them. That would be cool with me as I need to get away!! Lots up in the air but being just a few weeks out it's time for us to commit or cancel the cabin. I apologize for not promoting this as much as last year but having a kid over there and dealing with my clients, not to mention a construction project here at the end of our runway has really occupied my mind this summer.
Also keep in mind... Anyone flying cross country this direction is more than welcome to use our new guest apartment flying thru. We're located 35 mils south of Nashville TN on the south end of TN14. It's a 3600 foot grass strip. I have access to 93 octane non alcohol close by. If I have to go to LA I might not have to leave till Saturday so we'll be here friday.
I will continue upgrading this list so please do what you can to attend and let me know of any changes that need to be made.
Regards,
Jeff

Jeff-
Sorry you will not be there. However, I sure understand. Glad your son is coming home. I think Bob and I finally got our reservations straightened out. They had screwed them up like you couldn't believe at Rough River.
If you don't make it, we'll hoist a beer in your honor.
Jim

Can you give us an approximate count? Lynne is making salad for Saturday night and needs to know how big a bowl to bring. All my paperwork is ready to go to the DAR. Latest hangup is a faulty Princeton fuel probe.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Jim and All,
I have been involved in a legal matter which I was notified yesterday afternoon has been slipped to 3 PM today. I will not be able to even drive up now. A good friend has offered his 210 as it can make it in one hop VFR, but the weather for the return Sunday looks yucky for the Tampa Area. If I was current IFR I could probably do it, but I am too old and smart to attempt solo IFR in an unfamiliar airplane that has been loaned to me.
Family requires me to be back Monday afternoon, so have a good time as Saturday's weather looks great and driving looks great too...
Regards,
Bud Yerly

Hi All,
This years planned trip to Rough River has not worked out for us, as we run into bad weather on Sept. 1st just east of Billings, Montana, and had to back-track from there to a small , unattended airport , Wheatland County HWQ.
Here we discovered , that the tail-wheel spring-arm had been twisted out of alignment by a previous (EPH) landing in a
20 knt, 80 degree cross-wind landing. This explained the difficulty of landings under favourable conditions later on.
We found, that the best we could do at this location, was to take out the bolt that holds the tail-wheel assembly in the rear of the fuselage ( it was bent), straighten it and manufacture a shim from a suitable washer in order to straighten out the assembly somewhat. At this point the decision was made to turn back, as the repair was clearly only a temporary one. The spring arm will definitely have to be replaced before further flight.
Should anybody in the process of converting to a tricycle landing gear have such a spring-arm for sale, I would dearly like to hear from him.
We flew a total of 1800 miles at an average speed of 131 Knots. The turbulence in Montana and through the Rockies on the way back was severe, and my 82 years old back still hurts.
We were again impressed by the courtesy and helpfulness of Americans, especially by a welding shop owner, Don Jamieson, in Harlowtown ( Wheatland County), who assisted with the repair to the tail-wheel.
Also , the Exec Service at Helena was very helpful with the free use of a classic Lincoln Town Car. Helena, Montana, where we landed twice, has some very relaxed, friendly traffic controllers.
The Europa performed again without problems and I cannot see the need for a 914 up to airport elevations of 4000 ‘ and cruising altitudes of 8500 and even 9500’ over the 912 S. The same goes for the Airmaster prop, which will get you up and along at these altitudes just fine at max. gross of 1370 lb.
I hope, that enough of you could make it to Rough River in spite of the weather.
Cheers, Peter Timm, C-GIET.

Hi Peter,
Sorry to hear that things did not work out for your complete trip to RR.
I plan to head on up your way for a Rotax Maint. class in Vernon, BC,
Thursday and Friday the 8th and 9th. I called Scott airport in
Oroville WA to ask about border crossing and customs. I talked to
Steve the manager and he said a Europa passed that way a few days ago.
Was that you?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, that was us. Coming into Canada your nearest Customs would be
Penticton, CYYF. However, they are only open on working days, until 16:30
hrs. Kelowna , CLYW, has 24 hr service and is right next to Vernon.
Vernon is uncontrolled. Your nearest Port of Departure would be Moses Lake,
Grant County Int'l.
Where are you coming from?
Peter
