East Midlands LAA Strut - Feb 2017 Meeting

[TRAZZELL]

The next East Midlands LAA Strut meeting will be on Monday 13th February at The Plough, Normanton on Soar, LE12 5HB at 7:30pm for 8:00pm.

This month we have a special talk by our very own Ron Webster who will describe his development of the Webster Whirlwind radial aircraft engine. This has been a long term project with a five and then seven cylinder engine being developed. Ron and his engine have been the subject of a number of magazine articles and he has exhibited and run his engine at events such as the LAA Rally. Ron and the Whirlwind can be seen in action with his Clutton FRED airframe testbed G-BMOO - see this link to YouTube showing Ron running the 5 cylinder engine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyRTuggI1oY.

I hope to see you next Monday at what should be a very interesting evening.

Best regards

Tony Razzell

East Midlands LAA Strut Coordinator
