Northern California Legal Eagle Gathering
« on: January 07, 2014, 11:54:51 AM »
Want to know if there is any interest in a gathering of Eagles in Northern California, Flyers, Builders, interested to look at and discuss Leonard's wonderful little design.  We are getting several flying, many under construction seems like a good time to build up some enthusiasm and share ideas.

Les,
Do you know Tim Floyd..?  I think he is based at Holister.   Steve will know how to contact him.

Cool,  Tim built very nice anodized wheel hubs and a stainless steel muffler for his...  Hope you get some video, I sure would like to hear it.

Hey, Tim Floyd is a guy with many skills: Tim Floyd Music Bio...

 I'll get up there for any gathering of Eagles - Here's a pic from one of my visits with Tim & a sidekick ( a second later the sidekick was sitting on my right arm):

Talked to Tim briefly, sounds like he would be interested.  This should be fun.

Les.
     Sounds like a great idea,there seems to be quite a number of builders coming out of the woodwork in this area,thanks to your inputs.We have a local EAA chapter here at Rio Vista,you don't have to be an EAA member.Mabe this could be a starting point to organize a sub group.A group has so many advantages to it .A sharing of  info,,the joining of material ordering,to name just a couple.Your obvious previous experience is just what is needed.I would be all for it.Rex

Rio Vista pilots meet every 2d Saturday, at 10:30 AM, at the Rio Vista airport. FREE COFFEE. Les flew in this past week and we had a great interaction. We found 4 other LE builds in the Lodi, Vallejo and Delta area. If any assistance or coordination is needed please contact myself or Rex Avery at www.flyriovista.org. Thanks.

And we have free gas!!  Of course the LE does burn very little. This could be a great event. Are you aware of a LE kit in the Delta area? A gentlemen by the name Bob Hall.

Could a So. Cal. Builder join the action with you Northern boys?  Maybe Steve, Keith, and Reink could join in too.  Set a time and place and let us know if we are invited.
