Winamac 2017, August 24th-27th

[French1]

I will be as last year joining that wonderful event organized by Miroslaw and Tim,

If you have not been coming to that event it is a sweet place, with very nice accommodations for storing sailplane and tow plane overnight.

I have booked my room as last year at the Tortuga Inn for Thursday to Sunday , taking the Kite Suite (that has one private bedroom with a king bed and a bunk bed in the living area) as there was no regular room left .

I will be coming with Mathieu and using as last year the bunk bed, so there is a room available with a king bedif someone want to share cost with me (140$ per night breakfast included so 70$ if we split in two)

PM me if interested

I agree Stephane, its a good plane and the people are a lot of fun to fly with. Tim is hysterical.
I'm booked and really looking forward to returning to this event.

Tim, you and Kevin attending? It's a great venue!

[Mosquito]

I plan on making the drive but Kevin is dragging his rear on making a comittment.

[lenb]

Kevin, whats the problem? You're not getting any younger. Fly Hard, life is short.

[ARUP]

Win-nuh-mack, win-nuh-mack, win-nuh-mack! I love flying there!

[Xroadie]

I am looking forward to seeing your new ship fly there Michael!! I assume it will be ready?

[kjkavaney]

Kevin is coming with Timmie this year...like Len says....I am not getting any younger..

[Swiss1]

Is anyone getting any younger....if so I would like to meet you!

[Xroadie]

Looking forward to this event....it will be the third year for me! Be prepared to go on a diet afterwards as the food is to die for and never stops coming

Who all is bringing tugs?

I will have the Carbon Cub, I assume JimD and LenB will be coming again and will have Bidules! The other PeteG is coming with Caroline, so I'm sure he will bring the Smellyak I can't remember.....is there a "house" tug?

BTW...I may have accidentally registered four times for the event lol....I was trying to hit the back button to get back to the forum after I registered and I think I may have inadvertently sent my registration more than once

[Steve P]

Pete - we received all four. Your call if you want to pay the organizers 4x. ;-)

[Xroadie]

That's okay Steve....I will pay 4x's if needed, but I won't bring four Carbon Cubs

[Swiss1]

I'll bring the Turbine for Fun, as it was 2 years ago at this event that I got my Turbine waiver from Tim and Greg.
Snatch says he will drive up in the RV so we have a cool place during the day, he will bring his Pawnee, but remember he changes his mind more often than a woman
Not sure if TimM and Kevin will bring a Tug, but I believe TimR still has a Pawnee also!

I just signed up for this year's Winamac event, and was wondering if there is any place I can pitch a tent for the weekend.

I hope so because I'm planning on sleeping in my tent for the event.

When are people getting there? I'm planning on getting there mid-day on Wednesday.

Thanks to Burt for some inspiration! I figured if he can get 3 gliders into a Subaru wagon then I can get one into a little Acura RSX hatchback. Sure enough with the help of some PVC stands the ASW-20 fuselage goes right down the middle between the seats and the wings are right over it also between the seats. I can't wait to get to Winamac!
