We held the Canard Party and a good time was had by all

by Graham Email

The weather Gods obliged...so the party took place on Saturday at Lancaster Airport. The party was arranged to allow Kurt Wenderoth (a soon-to-be Cozy builder from Germany) to look at canards close-up.
I arrived just after noon to find that Kurt, his German colleague Christian and Bob Sudderth were already holding a pre-party outside my hangar (I was held up in traffic en route). We opened the hangar, moved in the food and drink, and waited for the rest of the folks to arrive.
The following people flew in with their planes:

Bob Sudderth (from Minneola)
Ron Gowan (from Denton)
Doug Bryan (from Denton)
Scott Christensen (from Denton)
Scott Carter (from Addison)
James Redmon (from McKinney)
Jesse Huerta (from Cleburne)

This was the line-up at around 14.30 CST outside my hangar:

Line-Up

Gerhard Deffner and Ron Handley showed up rather later, due to delays en route. As usual, we forgave Gerhard for showing up in a Cessna 172. A local guy named Ian Jaeger also came along to look at the planes, since he is also considering building one. As is normal, the line-up attacted a lot of folks from elsewhere on the airport.
James Redmon has his own report of the event on his web site.
