Richard, and all,

 

 Hi, I was just looking at the forecast for Sunday in the Watervliet area, and it looks great!  So I was wondering if any of the original "Chili-Hop" guys might still want to get together.  

 

 While I don't have a KitFox yet to fly over there, I could show up in a Citabria and trade a Citabria ride for a KitFox ride (yeah, I know, boring compared to a KitFox!!!), or maybe I could bring a Diamond Eclipse, or an Icarus Light Sport, or a C-172 (yawn!)   I really want to buy a KitFox, and I want to check out as many as possible to see what things are important, what matters, what don't, what's good, what's bad, etc. etc.

 

 So, anybody in the Illinois/Indiana/Michigan area wanna' do a KitFox Breakfast?  If so, let me know!

 

 Best Regards,

 

 Nick Scholtes

Nick,      

       

I wanted to invite you to a hopeful gathering of Foxes on 10/15   – in Watervliet, Michigan (40C)   – If the weather dries up, 6 kitfoxes,   IVs, and a   5…. should be there.    

I intend to check the field a few days prior and will relay the condition.   

Come on over if you can.   

Just off I-94, east of Benton Harbor/St Joe.

I'd love to, but I'm thinking that this will be the day to do the 

checkride, (weather looks crappy 'til then) after my original day got 

cancelled due to weather. If the 'ride doesn't pan out, I'm up for 

anything...oops, might not be able to get my instructor to sign off for 

another "cross-country" being as he is out flying for AA this weekend.

Nick / Lynn,



Wings - fun ingredient #1. You guys have that covered.

Maybe there will be a chance to get together somewhere once Lynn gets his ticket.



Watervliet airport is closed as far as I know.  That was the last report per EAA chapter 585 member based there, due to all the rain and poor drying conditions.   

 

I'm currently taxiing where ever I go on 4 wheels.



If there's a gathering within range I'll plan to join in. (no fox to show off, yet)

I'll keep my eye out for a tuba and maybe I'll be able to learn how to play it.... 



I'll be watching for your wheel landing:)
