Thanks for the Trike World update.

You're welcome. Thanks for the the update on your local EAA
chapter's get-together. Truly warmed the cockles of our little hearts.

BTW, you seem to be insinuating that it's perfectly appropriate for
Gordon to post off-topic chit chat all day long on this NG but not me
simply because I own a trike. For your military enlightenment, below
is a link depicting Gus Grissom and Milt Thompson standing next to an
early trike at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center:

The Trike World is forever indebted to all the outstanding NASA and
military aviators for their early contributions to weightshift,
flexwing aviation.

I'm going off to thank the folks that read my first post and simply gave
me good info in return.

You're welcome, again. Ya' gotta' admit that it wasn't exactly clear
if you simply wanted to chit chat about your local EAA weenie roast
or if you really were seeking information as you claim.

some kind of twin tail that sure looked out of place on the little
