Seen at Eloy ..

Hard core power flyers Hardy Broderson and Charlie Stiles with Coupes.
They bought the very attractive Burdov Coupes from Starline and flew
them the next day. They went well but looked like they needed a couple
more trimming flights. Also AA was seen walking off with coupe bits too.

Bill Cushenberry had new Beau Coupe, built with guidance from the
master, Bob White.


Doug Joyce has a new chase bike, looks great. Doug's last good chase bike
was stolen at Lost Hills some time back. Doug was seen wheeling this
one into the motel room in the evening. I understand that Marion drew the
line at putting it the bed.
