Just got off the phone with Gary H.  Everyone has made it home safe and sound and we are now declaring this weekend a success!



Below is a link to the first round of pictures to view.  These are from Bruce C.  The first aerial shots are of his home field which is 2800 ft, almost 2 nauga's!

Awards committe has awarded the following:



Most hours enroute, shortest landing, and longest takeoff roll - Jimmy Young *Houston, TX



Biggest Appetite and worst mule driver - John Hauck * Hauck's Holler, TX



Smoothest Arrival landing (that's it) - Gary Haley *Houston, TX



Furthest driven on the way to work - Ken Korenek



More awards to come, once all scoring is complete.



We had a great time as our friend would want!

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.

John will be amazed, I suspect, to find out that Hauck's Holler is now in Texas....  I hope he headed west instead of east when he left Nauga Field!

We don't sweat the small stuff.

  

 Had a great flyin, the Second Annual Nauga Field  Fly Around.

  

 If you didn't make it, you missed some good flying,  fun, and fellowship.  Anxiously waiting for next year.

  

 See you all in September at the Kolb  Homecoming.

  

 Thanks for all the fine LA hospitality, John  B.

The yellow plane  looks like a Firestar ... is that a Genrac V twin with a 

Valley redrive on it?



Looks like a great time.

Please forgive the finger fumble.      Should be Hauck's Holler, AL



Pretty sure John H had a good time. Picture below is of him departing Sunday AM from False River after fueling.



My wife Sandy and the Honorable Mayor of Starhill South, Ronnie M, did most of the work that folks enjoyed the most.



Do not archive.

We sure would like a unbiased review of your Genrec powered FSII. If you 

have flown a 503 powered FSII how does it compare. What are your cruise 

seeds, climb speed, climb rate if you have it, fuel burn, cost of engine 

package, vibration level, engine mount, noise level, weight of engine 

package, weight of plane with engine. Photos would be nice also. Again 

nothing specific.



Could we possibly see a article in EAA's Light Sport Magazine in the future?



I know I'm asking alot but we really need a inexpensive alternative to Rotax 

engines and you are really the first to put one on a FSII.

Jimmy will have more info than I put in the article, but until he's "ready to publish", this will whet your appetite!

   You probably know that Dick Starks wife...Kansas City...has a 

Generac on her Kolb MkII.   Herb

ps  I am told by a Dixie Chopper salesman that Generac engines are 

the only ones that are dynoed with full accessories operable...  Don 

G.. know anything about this?



This engine is over 900 cc's and can produce near 40 hp and is 

derated to 33 on some commercial lawnmowers..as I recall...
