Hi Ron !

There's a good possibility there will be someone who would be
happy to have a 'right-seater' to share the fun & expenses ! There
are a few on the list already ...

Unfortunately, I wouldn't hold out too much hope for TC changing
their policies ... this will take a loooong time - if ever. :-(
(Your FAA is not being kind to our Owner Maintenance Category aircraft
either - just "Not Allowed in U.S.A." - period !) Of course, as Wayne
suggests, it's almost impossible to tell from outside, just what category
your aircraft is ..... ;-)

While we don't encourage anyone to break laws, there MIGHT have
been some aircraft on Rambles that the owners chose to fly, regardless
of their legal status .... Of course, their insurance companies
would not have covered them ... Their decision !

In any case, we look forward to Rambling with you all next year !

Bob,

Well I'd love to join up in Winnipeg, except I'd be riding shotgun in
someone else's plane until Arlington. That is, unless Canada decides to
liberate US sport pilots in their airspace before then. (My email
exchanges with the Transport Canada officials recommended by EAA has not
been productive so far.) In any case, I'll probably still need that time
you're flying between Winnipeg and Chilliwack to finish the fly-off here
in California. Every day counts. :-)

Will send you a little extra moolah. Thanks for all you're doing in
support of Rebellious ones.

Ron

Hi Ron !

Sounds like you're very close ! I've said several times that
builders should target being flying by March, latest, to be sure to
allow time to fly off the requirements AND for the paperwork to
go through !! :-( You all can do it !

There are several Ramblers who will be joining in at various
points along the way, and I'm sure we can work something out about
Chilliwack - or maybe you could meet us in Winnipeg, or somewhere
earlier. Some folks can only fly along for a day or 2, then must
return home - that's OK, they can still have SOME fun !! :-)
Looks like there'll be several new Ramblers joining in at Winnipeg,
we'll pick up Garry in High River, and maybe a couple more, and

there'll

be a few more joining in at Arlington, for the trip back to OSH ...
Should be a real FUN Ramble !!

Yes, sending in $5 cash IS a real committment !! We've found it's
not the amount, just the psychological decision to write out your name
& address and say "I'm coming !", and pop it in an envelope, that
creates the real committment to come along on "The adventure of a

lifetime !"

Heaven knows the $5 registration doesn't begin to cover the real cost

of

postage, phone calls, name tags & Ramble buttons, ... and the time !!
It's really worth it though - and does help with planning !!! We

really
enjoy

travelling and meeting new people, and introducing flyers to the
great beauty of our countries - we'd like to take everyone on a

Ramble !! :-)

Hi Gord !

As I've often said, a transponder will be the LAST thing I
buy for my airplane ! (Much rather have a good GPS so <I> know
where I am - instead of a transponder, so <THEY> know where I am !)

We have managed to Ramble all these years without one, and expect
to continue. You DO need an exemption letter from the FAA - usually
because of insufficient (or none) electrical system. We usually
have ONE Rambler with a transponder, in which case we file as
a "flight of 12", or whatever, on ONE xponder code, & one flight
plan. We've also found at least 5 places where you can cross
without a flight plan ... because you don't FLY, you ROLL,
because the runways cross the border ! :-)

As Wayne says, we will ALL need passports !! :-(

One of the ideas of the Ramble was to show that it's still
possible to cross the country in something like a J-3 Cub,
like the old barnstormers, with just a clean windshield and
an Esso road map. (We HAVE had Ramblers use CAA TripTicks !)
We emphasize pilotage, rather than autopilots ! Not that
a nice AvMap colour moving map GPS is a bad thing !! ;-)

Have heard rumours of Owner Maintained class going to
Amateur Built - would be sensible, so may not happen ! ;-)
