Hey Sleepy,
You are right. A 10 -11 hour trip is getting to be a local event for me. At least I have a good time when I go.
See you guy's soon.

Hey Guys:

Sorry I haven't been on here to chat with you, been working on my 60%er and getting the field ready for the event. Everything is looking good. Hey Brian: I think Roy D Mercer was a back up banjo player in Deliverance and yes... I believe he was, in fact, gay.

Both you and Brian are partially correct.. First Roy was the lead indian/construction worker for the Village people.

Then he moved to BFE and was the ORIGINAL banjo player in Deliverance. Give the guy full credit where due Al.

He then moved to Rockford IL and met a couple of hot shot R-Plane pilots(Brian and Al) and decided to "pack a lunch"

Al, looks like we stirred up a hornets nest, sounds like Roy D Mercer is taking it to the mattress.

Hey Bill: I have a 342 3-W motor with stock pipes, (18) 8711 HVs, and a Royal power box. I have lightened up the plane a little bit, but you will have to come to the Huckfest to see it.
