Maybe if you had a regular meeting,
more folks would come !
We get visitors from New York and Michigan,
and some drive as
far as 5 hours from Ottawa .... :-)

We have always had some sort of
casual party in Chilliwack,
the last one was at Darryl's house, where he
graciously BBQ'd
for us !! Might be a bit difficult this
time, though, because
of Arlington - we've never come out that
early before...
and they'll be busy getting to the show.

Things are fairly well set for the
first part of the Ramble,
but, of course, we NEVER know when we'll be
ANYWHERE !! ;-) :-)
The plan is to be there for almost all of
Arlington, but....
I've heard of the gathering at Nimpo Lake,
and, since wheels
are possible ...... welllllll, as normal
for Rambling,
it's 'navigation by consensus' - it DOES
sound like a
good place to visit !

How far is Nimpo from Chilliwack ??
Will have to
dust off the big GPS !

Looking forward to meeting all the
Rebels in your
neighborhood !!

75 eh? That's pretty good. Well, there are

only about 5

people that I know locally here that own or are
building a MAM plane. And I see most of them quite
regularly anyway, either flying or

pondering over some

mod someone is doing. I know there are a few more in
the interior and on Vancouver Island, and

of course, a

lot more just south of the border.

Maybe when you're down here on your Ramble in July,
there might be an opportunity to get

together with some

people here. Since MAM is here and would

have a list,

it would be nice if they could organize

something. At

the very least, I could try gather the

people I know.

Speaking of your Ramble, not sure if you

know exactly

when you'll be here, but there is a BC Floatplane
Association annual get together out at

Nimpo Lake here

on July 12. It would be about a 2 day diversion, but
they can handle a lot of planes, including wheels. I
haven't been before, but am thinking of going this
year. The only problem is that it also

conflicts with

the last 2 days of Arlington.

Hi Walter !

Well, there <are> over 100 Rebels in
Ontario, and over
20 S/R, Mooses, about 25 Renegades, and a
couple of Mavericks,
but it's not all my fault !! (I've only
sold about 75 of 'em ! ;-) )

Heck, Walter, you'd be a perfect guy
to start meetings
out there - maybe you could get a group
started up in Vernon too !

It doesn't take much to get started
- just get some
coffee & donuts, and invite builders to
share their questions.
It's a pretty good bet that someone else has
the answer, but, if not,
you can always dig here in the archives, ask
the list, or pass
it back to us, and we can ask at our

meetings !! :-)

I am always amazed at the brilliant,
creative solutions
that builders come up with ! Most of the
time, they just solve
their problems, and don't even realize that
EVERYONE could use
their 'fix' !! We've seen tremendous
improvements in the window
latches and locks - dramatically tidier than
the original factory
setup, and simpler too !!! Just ask folks
to share, and
you're on the way ! It is also surprising
how many Rebel 'fixes'
also apply to Supers, Mooses, and even
Mavericks & Renegades,
so don't narrow the group too much - heck,
we've even stolen
.... uhhh ..... 'borrowed' ..... ideas
from the RV builders !!
That's where the rolled covering of the
'lip' at the bottom of
the firewall came from !

Let me know if you're up for it -

I'll help !
