Make SERFI Huge …DanH
Friday October 17th, and Saturday the 18th, Evergreen, Alabama, KZGH. Two runways, unicom (advisory only), fuel available. https://www.serfi.org/
The fly-in operates in partnership with the City of Evergreen's Annual Sausage Festival (https://www.evergreenareachamber.com/evergreen-sausage-festival.php), so you can definitely get a $100 Conecuh sausage, burger, or BBQ. Camp Friday and Saturday night if you like, or just buzz in on Saturday morning.
Now an appeal to the angels of your better nature...
At one time SERFI was a Huge Big Deal, with 400+ airplanes. It slipped badly during the covid years. Then it took hits from two IFR weekends in a row, and has never really recovered. Some of us would like to change that, and it can only happen with your support. Go to any online forum, and you'll read cries for "an old fashioned grassroots fly-in". Well, boys and girls, here it is, a small town airfield without complication, run by folks who want you to visit. No airshow, no Notams. Procedures? We would really like you to arrive from over by Monroeville (MVC) (because there is less drama when everyone enters the pattern from the same direction), but that's it.
So, can ya'll fire up those RVs and storm the place?

Section 29 - side skins, bending the longerons
I don’t know why I have consistently lost spatial perspective with these parts. It is too easy to blame the plans and, of course, I don’t think I am the problem. In any case I need some new AA6-125x3/4x3/4. I might be able to source this locally if I can figure out what this angle is. Is there...

Rats nest. What would you do?
Well I’ve got a bunch of wires connected at the inside of the wing root. I left myself extra wire so I can pull it out and service it someday and give myself some wiggle room. My thought is to put the bunch in an insulated/fireproof bag or container and zip tie the whole bunch to the floor...

RV8 HS install after the skin is on
I’ve been thinking on how I’m going to get this task done tool wise with small space and contorted access and big hands. Then this tool jumped off the shelf at HF and into my hands!’ Hard to see in 2d but it articulates at that elbow and at the ratchet point.

Get the cap all the cool kids are wearing! I don’t get a penny. It’s around $15. $5 more if you want your N-number on the back (I put 'STAFF' on the back of mine because it makes me laugh. Put STAFF on yours too if it makes you smile). And down the road $10 to the charity of your choice...
