Re: Air Venture 2009 Awards and comments

Notes from the Thursday morning Taylorcraft forum at Oshkosh, emceed by Steve Krog of the Taylorcraft Owners Club:

In response to a question, Steve said that thanks to people sending in copies, he has accumulated almost a complete archive of old Taylorcraft Owners Club newsletters. He has some college kids hired this summer to scan them and then produce searchable archive CD-ROMs for all the TOC members.

In response to questions about Type Certificates and drawings, Steve said the original Taylorcraft drawings in Florida would need about two years of re-drawing by engineers and draftsmen before the FAA would accept them for manufacturing use, which has stymied plans for a new Taylorcraft LSA.

Put me down for copies of the CD's! When will we hear how much and where to send $$$.

As for re-working drawings, that is work I really enjoy and would be glad to help if you want. Just remember I am FAMOUS for taking a LOOOONG time to get stuff done. Might want to just send one drawing at a time.

Robbie...

So sorry I wasn't at my plane! I don't know why I even bring a chair. I hardly ever sit still! There is always next year! I was planning on making the Vintage dinner but other commitments got in the way. Hope you had a good time!

Take care,

Suzy
