ASC KIMO Nationals

[Ralph]

The ASC KIMO Nationals will be held at Three Rivers municipal airport (HAI: 41 57.59' 085 35.60') in Michigan over the Labor Day weekend (Sep. 3-5). This is one of the premier ultralight fly-ins in the country, including powered parachutes, trikes, and fixed-wings.

As Director of the Rotor Wing of ASC, I would like to invite any midwest gyro pilots looking for a weekend of fun and good fellowship to fly or trailer their gyros or works-in-progress to the fly-in. Gyros are welcome in ASC and any machines that arrive will certainly be centers of attention.

Hi Ralph, Tom Milton and I plan on flying in on saturday in Tom's Sundowner.

I was thinking of flying the gyro there but decided against it. It's a little to far and the Hirth is a real gas guzzler.

So I won't have anything to show off. But if I can help you in any other way, let me know.

Chuck,

Great that you and Tom will be attending. I am going to see about a table for the Rotor Wing. If you could occasionally be available to field questions, that would be great. I am going to put together a gyroplane pamphlet that will point folks to some of the wide range of gyro-related resources and will be handing that out to those with an interest. I may also try to set up a bulletin-board for posting pictures of the various gyro models.

I'll be there too. Anything I can do to help out?

The weather looks iffy for the weekend!

[Ralph]

Hey, this is Michigan. We will be lucky if they can predict the weather the day before!

Ralph, I would love to go, but can't. I hope you have great weather & a good turn out! Best of luck to all.

Ralph,

Tim Blackwell has rented a 25x25 vendor space for he and I. We should have our 2 gyros there (not much to look at). I'm trying to finish a composite seat for mine so we can demo the pre-rotator that Rufus put together (pull start type).

Hello Men. Looks like Bob Randall and I will be bringing up my Littlewing in process to the event. Not much different than at mentone, but little parts are coming along. We are ready to second jig the third littlewing at my place. Have been having some nice comments over the e regarding it. See you guys tomarrow. We'll be there. Best regards Littlewing Booster Rich.
