Haven't been back out there yet, but it's a really great area to fly in. Ya got the Flint Hills, where the rolling grasslands grow a unique species of natural grass thatthe cows & buffalo's get fattened up on. Then ya got that massive Windmill Farm, that you can easily see from over 20 miles away...quite a sight. Ah yes,then you've got the Beaumont Breakfast. Quant little town out in the middle of nowhere, that has a beautiful little motel / restaurant, a grass strip, andone of the best breakfasts that I've ever had. We will Definitely meet out there when you get your ship airworthy. Yes, I got the DVD's back. I have found that about 10% of the DVD players out there will not recognize the format my computer burns to DVD-R discs,but when I burn to a DVD+R disc those players work fine. My player works withthe -R, but will not work with the +R. I'm going to contract out a large quantity of the video 'Stamped' as opposed to 'Burned', so that all players willread the format, then start to really market my video. Thank you for your patience during this learning curve. I haven't done any of that Pilot stuff for several months. I'm going to finish up the rework on my prop this weekend. Flying season is almost here !! I finally got my web site up and running a few days ago, and keep updating it every day. I've got lots more stuff planned to put up there.
