Re: Caveman Fly In 2012

The only thing I would add tothat was the Fri. nite dinner at Mack, The feeding will be roughly 4-6 so that there is plenty of time to get back to Caveman before dark thirty. I think it is about a 50 mi flight in a straight line, but much more enjoyable, atleast for me, to make an early enening flight following the river. Probly closer to 45/60 min depending on speed.

will there be 100ll available at mack??

Re: Caveman Fly In 2012

Wilga,

Lets see... when flying with a husky at 110kts my skywagon burns about 7.5 gph... if I slow that down to 80kts... I wonder what my fuel burn would be? I have never been patient enough to try it... maybe the fuel burn would actually increase!?!

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

Re: Caveman Fly In 2012

Talked to Ladd about the credit cards/fuel. He can do the credit cards but it would be simpler if you just brought some cash. He has to take the info home to run the card.

Re: Caveman Fly In 2012

Any ideas if caveman will be ok for those of us driving in? I never did scout the road .. Been working too much. We would head out there late afternoon sat.

Room for me +1 for dinner?
