Jerry.   What you planning on doing. I am still working on setting up the northern CA eagle gathering.  It will most likely be after Oskosh and still working on locations.  Rio Vista, Oakdale, Oroville are high on location list but have several other places to investigate before we start getting serious. Have about 20 parties interested in one way or the other.   I am already scheduled for March or would fly to Rio Vista.  Let me know if i can answer questions or if you want to view eagle being restored or flown

Les,

Thanks for the reply. Rich and Rex both will be here that day. If you could fly in it would be great. Looking for any and all suggestions. Certain we could get Burt and the other Delta area builder.

Jerry.  I would love to be there but unless something changes will no be able to make it.  For the  NCA gathering we need to an out several months to allow time to contact people off the
 Lists, EAA chapters and minimize conflicts with other events.  I have comunicated with people that would fly i. Drive in , haul in acd be here on bikes. Sounds like a fIr amount of interset. We are going to have to have a exible airport environment that will allow trailers on and let us assemble and fly. A small private strip in the valley would be ideal.  Still researching

Les,if you could get a private strip ,that would be more than perfect,its just what we need..I would even take time off from building to attend.I can see the nucleolus of a great Eagles Nest.

Is this on for 3/8/2014? I would attend if my buddy can make it. Oh yeah, I need to ask the wife. She's usually compliant with most of my requests, but I still have to put on the show that she is in charge.

They are having a gathering, several legal eagle builders. All are welcome but it is not the northern california eagle gathering.  If you have time on march 8 th sure you could learn a lot and enjoy

[John Harmon]

So this is an informal meet up? The official one hasn't been set?

[riorex2002]

John
No this is only the general airport pilots and EAA meeting.We take this opportunity to have a chat.
Les is the organizer of the Eagles group and is working on it to get us all together,We are spread out
quite a bit,so he has his work cut out.When he gets it going it will be a great time to all get together
and meet.When Les gets a date,make sure you keep that day open.
Rex

[John Harmon]

Ok thanks.

[Richfroh]

I'm definitely interested! Just let us know when and where when that is all figured out. Until then, I'll keep working on my Double Eagle wings.

We have news.  The Northern California Eagle Gathering will take place at Rio Vista (088) the weekend of September 27th and 28th.  We will plan on arriving on Friday September the 26th, with Saturday the 27 the main day with flight demonstrations, story telling, exchange of ideas etc.  I will up date with some other things to do but what we are striving for is to cover from those with early interest, building and flying all Legal Eagles including the LEU, LEXL and the DE.  If things work out intend to have some hands on eagle stuff to do including rib building, fabric covering and maybe some welding demonstrations, everything to do with Eagles.  Bring your project, bring your Eagle parts and share with the group.  If you have a flying eagle this is a great place to fly, winds are generally down in late September and the temperatures are warm but should not be real hot.  Lots of things to see from the air.
