Bruce Layne Posted October 4, 2002 Posted October 4, 2002 The biggest and best canard fly-in of the year! Always the last weekend in September at Rough River State Park in western Kentucky. Usually 50-65 canard airplanes. Free drawing for many VERY nice prizes at the Saturday night get together. Info at http://www.roughriver.org Quote

Jon Matcho Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 I'm trying to figure out how to get there. Not a problem w/scheduling, but flights to Backwoods Airport are a handful of $$$. I am doing my best to get myself there... Quote Jon Matcho Builder & Canard Zone Admin Now: Rebuilding Quickie Tri-Q200 N479E Next: Resume building a Cozy Mark IV
Dan Tomlinson Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I'd like to go down from Toronto - it would be driving at this point! How are you getting there Mike? I'd prefer to fly, but I don't have mine done yet! /dan Quote /dan
Jon Matcho Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 flights to Backwoods Airport are a handful of $$$.I was referring to Owensboro, KY, which is ~35 miles away and a $551 commercial flight. Commercial into Louisville is $280 and ~55 miles away (I understand a 90-minute trip). Looks like I'll be flying into Louisville.

mplafleur Posted July 23, 2004 Posted July 23, 2004 I'm hitchin' a ride with dust and Nick (dust's hanger mate) in a v-tail Bonanza. We may have to ask for special clearance to land and park behind the FBO. Quote Mike LaFLeur - Cozy MkIV #1155N68ML
Jon Matcho Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Just bought my ticket on Continental (rate went down $13 from a week ago)! Very much looking forward to talking shop with everyone.

willybears Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Hey, Anyone know if there are any Aero Canards showing up??? We are in the "what plans do I want to build stage" I like the room I may get with the Aero Canard and would like a looksee. I am brining the bride and these things are important I'll also be interested in any Rotary Turbo'd machines. See Ya There Quote
Jon Matcho Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 Anyone know if there are any Aero Canards showing up???I hope so, since I'm building one. I'm flying in commercial, sharing a rental car w/Jerry Schneider and Larry Wimble, but have no idea where I'm staying other than I'm bringing my tent, toothbrush, and soap.

Jon Matcho Posted September 27, 2004 Posted September 27, 2004 So far the weather forecast is sun on Friday, 40% chance of rain on Saturday, and partly cloudy on Sunday. Not too shabby...

Jon Matcho Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Now that was fun! Outside of the pizzazzle of Sun-n-Fun (not mentioning my transportation there) and what I guess would be the craziness of Osh, this event has my vote as THE must-see fly-in of the year for canard enthusiasts. I'll upload a few more pics to my Web site when I can, but in the meantime I attached a shot of Jack Morrison saying "goodbye" by going 1,000mph down the runway in his supercharged ERacer. *Also, to stir the snipe out for the retracts vs. fixed gear debate, pictures like this are one of the reasons why you get retracts.

Neverquit Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 Due to increased fuel prices I suggest we start now and chime out who is going. Maybe we can attract those by car/plane pooling to those who otherwise had decided to not go this year. My vehicle is now full of passengers. Who else is willing? It would be great if we could show our brotherhood/sisterhood of Canardians during difficult times and break last year's record. Quote
Jon Matcho Posted September 2, 2005 Posted September 2, 2005 I am going, this year with my wife, and am dragging another builder w/his wife to spend 2 nights in the luxurious town of Falls of Rough. I had no problem keeping busy nonstop last year, but I have no idea how to pull this one off.

zzigster Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for a room at the Rough River lodge, that perhaps someone may have reserved and for some reason decided they weren't going to make it. Anyone who has a room reserved with a change in plans, give me a shout, I'ld be happy to get those reservations. Thanks, Rod Herzig Vari-eze N1389P e-mail [email protected] Quote Rodney Herzig

zzigster Posted September 26, 2005 Posted September 26, 2005 I'm looking forward to another fun filled weekend at Rough River. Last year was a blast. I'll be flying my Vari-eze in with Dave Dugas who came out last year with his award winning Quickie Q2. Quote Rodney Herzig
Jon Matcho Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I'll look for you there now that I know what you look like -- maybe I'll bring a name tag. Quote Jon Matcho Builder & Canard Zone Admin Now: Rebuilding Quickie Tri-Q200 N479E Next: Resume building a Cozy Mark IV

zzigster Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I'll be looking and listening for your name Jon . I've been on the phone with the lodge daily since last week. No one has cancelled yet. If I get a cabin at the last minute I'll be looking for roomates to share some of the expense. Quote Rodney Herzig
zzigster Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Jerry that is one funny picture you've got there, look forward to meeting you Quote Rodney Herzig

Jon Matcho Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Looks like I'll be landing in Louisville at 9:00 AM on Friday. I'll have a car full of 4 people, so I'll catch up w/everyone at the field. I've been on the phone with the lodge daily since last week.You can get a local room here. See you, and everyone else, there! Quote Jon Matcho Builder & Canard Zone Admin Now: Rebuilding Quickie Tri-Q200 N479E Next: Resume building a Cozy Mark IV
Remi Khu Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 ... You can get a local room here. ... You Rascal!! Had me going there for a minute. Quote Remi Khu Cozy Mk IV Plan #1336
rnbraud Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 What is the best route from Louisville (SDF) Airport to Rough River? Looks like I can either take I-65 down or take "the back way" over US-60? Thanks. Quote
