    Robert - Exactly how for along are you with your 701?
  • Chris Aysen

    Robert you're welcome to come anytime. Short notice but, we're having a local EAA/Flyin meeting this weekend (4/4/09) at a private strip 2 minutes from my house. The group will be coming over to see the progress of my plane. You're welcome if care to attend; BBQ starting at 9:00 a.m.

    Robert - The way to BBQ. Interstate 10 west out of New Orleans toward Baton Rouge; just outside of NO take a right on 310 to Destrahan/Luling bridge. Go to HWY 90/Interstate 49 to Houma/Raceland/ Thibodaux. Your going west (I know odd numbers run N/S) on 49 take a right on LA 1 (about 40 minutes from 310) toward Thibodaux. You'll be about 20 minutes from the BBQ. Coming from Baton Rouge I 10 to New Orleans about 40 minutes out of Baton Rouge take a right at the Sorrento exit. Go about 1/4 mile take left on LA 70 and cross Sunshine bridge. After the bridge go about 1mile and watch for left exit (easy to miss) that is spur 70 to Thibodaux/ Napoleonville. Stay until you see another left turn across medium to go to Napoleonville/Thibodaux. When you get to Stop sign cross the bayou to get to LA 1 and take a left. Your now headed South a good 45 minutes from BBQ. The strip is off LA 1. Call my cell. Let me know via email by Friday morning if you are coming. Drop me an email at "saysen@ftcc.edu" and I'll give you some important additional info.Thanks Chris

    Robert you are right about Gordo, nobody knows where it is. I just saw your post, we are in Panama City Beach for a couple weeks of fishing. I went to the military base too check emails. I don"t know youre uncle but my building partner probably does.

    I know what you mean about the heat. My plane is flying great. Putting in the required 40 hours is a lengthy process. Where is Purvis located in relation to a MS city I would recognize?
  • Chris Aysen

    Thanks for the information. I will store it and when I complete my 40 hours I'll be looking for places to go. Especially to see other builders' projects.
  • Chris Aysen

    Let me know a couple of days ahead of time. We'll go out to the airport and look it over.
