    Some of us local DFW Zenith e Builders/Owners are trying to set up a fly/drive meeting at Hicks Airfield (T67) north of Saginaw. The airport has a restaurant and we are thinking a breakfast meeting in July. The possible dates are the Saturday the 11th or 18th. We are trying to get as many as possible to come so feel free to pass this invite to any of your friends that might be interested.

    0 the weekend of July 11-12 or 18 - 19 for a local DFW Zenith builders/Owners meeting at Hicks Airfield (T67). Hope of of those date will work with your schedule. I will also sent email to others I know in this area. Jon feel free to invite others if we can agree on a date. I'm thinking a breakfast meeting. The restaurant opens at 8:00am but I spoke with the manager and he would be willing to come in earlier if we needed him too and would reserve an area if we needed more room than a couple of tables. The airport has room for auto and airplane parking.

    The DFW Zenith Aircraft Builders Group is going to have another meeting. It is Saturday November 21 at 8:30 to 8:45 for breakfast at the cafe (at Rio Concho) on the field at Hicks Airfield. Our meetings are informal and we are still trying to meet everyone in the area that is building or interested in Zenith aircraft. Please come in you can and bring your wife if you wish. My wife will be there and sometimes other wifes also attend.
    If you don't mind I would like your email address to add to the groups email list. My email is burbby@yahoo.com.. I know it is strange but burbby is what the grandkids call me so the name stuck..
    If nothing else I hope you can make it to the meeting. We need you in the group.

    Thanks

    Chet, I like your ideas about brakes. Since we will be doing some major surgery, this is a good time to address those, I should've done this or I could've done it that way.

    Should I ever have the pleasure of building another airplane, I will look at the Cessna type master cylinder, seems like a better overall solution.
