FYI, it is not Ford anymore, it is Kia. (Was Bostrom Ford for a long time, then Wakefield Ford for a short time.

Hey Boys and Girls!!!
You guys need to mark your calendars for Aug 22nd
Jason Jarvis has arranged for us to put on a heckava Mall Show. This will be quite different from shows past, and from all I heard last night, this will be REALLY exciting. Stay tuned for more info to come, but for now, grab that pen and circle August 22nd on you calendars!

So, when are you going to start parking on the other end of the field?

Hey All,

I just received a call from Jeff Holsinger, who is one of the organizers for the "Dayton Ohio Giants Scalers (D.O.G.S.)" giant-scale fly-in at the Air Force Museum on Sept. 4-6, which several of us had been planning to attend this year. It's awesome...we fly on a BIG old runway on Wright Patterson Air Force Base with the museum in the backgound, have a private tour of the museum, and fly in front of literally hundreds of spectators!

Anyway, he said that they have a block of rooms reserved on the base in the "Hope Hotel" (as in Bob Hope) for $70/night (double). You have to mention the event for this rate.

Hope Hotel & Conference Center, Bldg. 823, Area A, WPAFB, OH 45433-5000 • P: 937.879.2696

There are only 20 rooms blocked at this rate and you can go to their website at www.hopehotel.com for more info.

I know Larry and I were planning to go. And I think Jay Ingle was also showing interst. Mark your calenders since this is an awesome place to fly and the museum alone is worth the trip! I just reserved two double rooms.......

Hello, thought I would ask the circus if anyone has an idea(s) on how I could cover this bi-plane. I took it down from the attic about a week ago and stripped all the mono covering off. I bought it about 20 years ago from a guy in Tucson, flew a few times and put it away. As far a I know, it's one of a kind. It has no wing struts, the bottom wing bolts to the fuse and the top to the wire harness. I plan on putting a .90 or 1.20 four stroke on it. This is really a sharp looking plane and as I remember it flew well. Just looking for a color scheme? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

That is an old Great Planes Aero Master kit.

You can get a few different cowls and wheel pants from fiberglass speciaties.
