    Hello to All,

    This is just a short reminder of our meeting this Saturday at Rio Concho at T67 Hicks Airfield. We normally start between 08:30 to 09:00. Hope to see all there, Let's hope for a good turnout and that we can get updates from most of the members on what they have been doing this last month. I have been busy but mostly on honey do's and not much work on the bird.
    Hey lets welcome two new members to our list, they are Jim Ley and Chet Chesnut .

    This is just a short note to all to wish all a Merry Christmas and hopefully a better New Year especially for the 601XL/650 builder and owners. The time to plan for next year is here and what we as group would want to see and do for next year as for continued meeting and discussion format. The last meeting of the year there was some lively discussion but the group was smaller than usual, but the weather was bad that weekend.

    I am wishing for a Garmin Area 550 or an Bendix/King AV8OR ACE but since I can't make up my mind which one I want, it will be next year before I get one of the two units. I'll bet you can get a Garmin 495 or 496 at a reduced price after the first of the year. I would appreciate any advice from the group.

    The 601XL and 650 members have been silent on the upgrade and if any one has started the pre work while waiting on their upgrade kit from Zenith or if any of the plans builders have been able to use the released and revised document form Zenith to fabricate the upgrade parts Please share with the group concerns and problems that you encounter because this knowledge can help the group. There is a live Chat Room every Monday evening around 8:00 EDT or 7:00 CDT and the link is http://www.mykitairplane.com/ I have not ever signed into the chat to see how the group works. I may tonight and see if it is worth while to monitor.

    We could use the blog feature of zenith.aero but that not the same as online chat for free exchange of idea.

    Well this started as a short note but not unless I close the note.


    See you'll next year.
