This seems curious to me...I've been to Brodhead a few times and it seems that there was alwayssomeone selling T-Shirts or sweatshirts out of the back of their van.(Nice stuff, too, I might add...) Grant had his own designs to sell too,but the variety made it better for those of us who were in attendance. There were even 'dated' shirts from a few different folks...I would think that hats would be ok too, unless they were white(reserved for pilots flying their Piets in..)Any insight into this restriction?>I have emailed Grant> and Gar, and have discovered that although they think hats are great,> they would rather not have me sell them there.

If I might jump in here and put in a word for Grant and Gar, and commendSteve for his "diplomacy". In a genuine effort to keep Broadhead as simple, uncomplicated and homeyas possible, there are no fees or ticket booths and everybody pitches in tomake it work. However, a minimum of cash is needed. So, without putting ontheir hobnail boots toward the pirate guys who make a buck from the event,they do try, ever so gently, to ask that you financially support the folkswho are really doing the heavy lifting here. I would think that this mightmake a bit of sense for the few days, on the field, at Broadhead.Best Regards,Warren"Mr. Carmen A.

Others say that with the long fuselage, theoriginalplacement isfine with brakes.Any advice?Thanks, AlSwansonsize4>Al, my adviceis to build the gear a per plans.
