I noticed that SNF cancelled the Sun 100 and Sun 60 races this year. Anyone know why? I'm not sure if it was due to a lack of interest or lack of entries. Or maybe some insurance snafu.

Last time I attended Sun N Fun was in 1990 and I flew in I am thinking of driving down and wonder if it is too late to get lodging?? All I remember from 1990 is, a lot of traffic-cars and planes, and I had a really good time. Is there a hotel that might be close and have a vacancy at this time? Or,...

'Taint now. Get ready to have your wallet plucked. And that rule about ice chests and backpacks, that's so you'll not be bringing in your beer at $5 a sixpack from the supermarket down the street. You'll need to buy it at $4 per beer and $10 per hamburger on premises. A fool and his money...

I'm working on a little aluminum airplane that has some surface corrosion just under the paint in a couple places. What do you guys use as a treatment to stop the aluminum corrosion? I remember 30 years ago using phsophoric acid then a zinc chromate converstion treatment. Is this still the best...
