Standby for more. Throw your ideas my way.

I like the idea of a monthly get together. Charley, Texada looks great but I bet we can find a time and place a little sooner too. How about picking a location in April where we can meet for lunch and grab one of those $100 hamburgers. If it we get weathered out we try again in May. Perhaps some where central to those that are interested.

HaHaHa!
We found an opening in the rain clouds this afternoon........125mph @ 2550 in dense cold air (DM7653) with the pants off and the 6.00 x 6 tires on.

Sounds great, I can think of numerous cool places to meet up at around the area, when the time gets closer we'll put our heads together for sure....
I'm in for the meet but for now, I'll be driving. Mr Rivas used to organize stuff but its been awhile since there's been a get-together. Texada Island is in prime time airshow / camping period and although it would be great it would be in stiff competition for attendees.
Sorry for the thread drift and carrying on with the prop discussion, a member from Quebec recently asked what prop would be the best for a 2000' grass strip, Alt about 250 ft and desiring more speed with the 0-300 (yeah I know who doesn't want to get there faster).
