Kawartha Klassic (Click on poster for full view)
Brian and Blair Robinson (The 'Vette Bee guys) are having a fly-in at Kawartha. Here's what they said: We hope you all had a great winter & are looking for
places to go flying. It just so happens that there is a fly in at our airfield
that is combining classic airplanes & classic cars, details are on the
attached flier. This is a 1 day event & we would love to see as many Bees as
possible. We will have our shop open & would enjoy showing you around. There
are reasonably priced accommodations nearby for anyone who would like to stay
over & party, just let us know & we will make reservations. If the
morning after is not too bad we can go out & scare some birds. So mark the
date (June 9th) on your calendar & plan to have some fun.
If any of
our friends from the US plan to come Peterboro CYPQ & Buttonville CYKZ are
both ports of entry for customs about 30 minutes from Lindsay CNF4.

Do you know this Seabee?
Mr. Jerry
Austin is looking for information on S/N 428, N6229K once owned by his
father (photo below). Anyone with information should contact me (smestler@pbtcomm.net) or Jerry Austin (AEGjaustin@aol.com).
He thanks you for your help. See more information here. ![]() ![]() Photos courtesy of Jerry Austin =============================================== Tip of the week: Trailing Edge Bumpers...
Have
you ever cut your head on the trailing edge or the hinge supports of
your Seabee? This quick and easy fix will save your head or more
importantly, the head of your friends or visitors to your hangar. They
are made from foam tubes available at Wal-Mart or other department
stores under the name "Wacky Noodles" or "Crazy Noodles". Kids use them
in the pool or lake as floatation or just to hit each other without
harm. They cost about $1.50 each. You will need about 10 or 12 of them.
I split the tubes length-wise so they can be pushed onto the
trailing edge of all the surfaces. I use smaller ones on the aileron
and flap hinge supports. They have saved my head more than a few times.
I would like to take credit for these, but I can't. The late, former
member Jim Poel was the one who "invented" them. Thanks Jim!
