    Nice! Both of my uncles have their licenses and used to own a plane together years ago. I'm sure they are very familiar with that air strip. I'm originally from Vienna and may have been there when i was younger. Both of my uncles retired from Dupont.

    Maybe 15 to 20 miles southeast of Parkersburg. On 47. That would be awesome and much appreciated.

    I've been trying to get in touch with the Cat guy. Everytime I call, he's not there. Hopefully I'll get lucky tomorrow.

    Double flange or single flange rollers? What are th3 advantages/disadvantages. Seems like a single flange near the idler would allow a little more movement for misalignment due to wear in the idler rail.
