Could a forum be created for fly-in events?

If you are doing circuits at CYRO, or going to the practice area, you do not need a transponder, let alone a code. But use 1200. If you're going to transit the CYND Gatineau airspace then you can radio them while on the ground at Rockcliffe, state your intentions, and request a code. Dial in the cod...

Depending on the type/cause of the "misun...

I just got a quote to insure my homebuilt through EAA C-Plan and was quoted about $635.00 for a year of coverage!!! Didn't get a quote from COPA yet, but I find it hard to believe they will beat that. Not much reason to be a member of COPA anymore, I'll miss the monthly newspaper, but that's not en...

It sounds like things are seriously rotten in Denmark. Somewhere in this thread it says a simple majority is needed to remove persons from the board at the AGM; which is about a year from now. Plenty of time to get a voting bloc together. And the 2014 AGM is going to be held in Peterborough in June...
