Lamberts Cafe, Sikeston, MO
"Great home cooking landmark in Southern Missouri appropriately named Home of the Throwed Rolls. If you've never experienced this place you should definitely put it on your list. The local airport KSIK, sits about 3 miles from Lamberts and while you could make the walk...the secret is to call for the shuttle and I'll tell you why; Lamberts is a very popular local and tourist destination so believe me when I say, the lines wrap around the building. Now here comes the secret part...if you fly into the airport and call for shuttle service no charge but Chris always appreciates a tip, they will walk you in the exit door while jokingly says, don't make eye contact. You will be seated immediately, served and chowing down on some of the best southern cooking I've ever experienced...I like to call it Cracker Barrel on steroids. UPDATE: Call Lambert's when you land. They will pick you up in their limo, take you to the restaurant and put you at the front of the always line. When your ready, they'll load you up and take you back to the airport. Great food....fun atmosphere. Just be sure your hungry. Oh, BTW...they do NOT take credit cards - bring cash! They do have ATMs on site." - Submitted by Dale Sanders

Estes Drive In, Lincoln Missouri, Lincoln, MO
"This airport is a grass strip that is a short walk to several restaurants, including the Estes Drive In, Highway Cafe, a Subway and Past Times Farm and Bakery. There is no fuel at this strip. Warsaw Municipal Airport KRAW is about 4 miles away with paved runway, fuel and a courtesy car that you can call ahead and reserve." - Submitted by Hank Konzelmann

Starting On The Ailerons
Today in the shop, I started on the Ailerons. The only thing here I can say is to make sure you have bits for drilling steel. The instructions ask that you use the holes in the skins as pilot holes. Use them as the holes to guide your punch but don’t try to drill them while still attached to the skin. The Carbide or Titanium drill bit you use to drill the steel will tear up the skin if you slip.

I put a car HORN on my airplane!
The cool thing about experimental aircraft is that you can add cool stuff, like a car horn!

Half Moon Bay Airport, Half Moon Bay, CA
"Great location just west of San Francisco Bay, right on the coast. Delicious breakfast served at the diner on the field. Short walk to the marina and some really good restaurants or just take a walk on the beach. There was plenty of parking on the ramp, but the best part of Half Moon Bay aside from the totally epic flight along the coastline to get there, is the town itself. There's some great scenic hiking, shops and bomb food. Make sure you get flight following, especially if you're going to be flying north between the field and the Golden Gate Bridge as it gets fairly congested and no one wants to stray too far off the coastline." - Submitted by MFridell
