2020 Bearhawk Cookout, Virtually, 7/21/2020

I thought it was great and I think the outlines of a regular agenda emerged. Something like this:
- updates from Avipro
- builder reports
- guest speaker or special topic
- roundtable

Thanks for setting it up!

Hope we continue with this, yesterday was informative.

Like Jon said, I couldn't make that time work on a weekday but I'm glad to hear it went well!
Was Bob on?

[jetdriver]

Bob was there but his mic wasn’t working so he was available for questions via the chat. It was well put together and very informative.

Good call! Thanks Jared and all who organized! Let's do it more often!

I am in for a monthly meeting. EAA Bearhawk Chapter.

Lets explore this more some more. Its a very innovative & Great Idea!!

Could it help increase the completion rate, decrease the completion time, cost, and effort? Could it be a repository for the historical data of Beartracks? Plans? Future CAD drawings? Bob is 71.

I wonder to myself what will happen to the design in 10 - 15 years. A foundation or non-profit could preserve the designs and information for tomorrows builders.

If/When we do this again, someone needs to go to Bob's and set him up with a webcam! I'm using a decently priced Logitech cam that seems to have good sound and image quality. Put a light behind the camera/monitor to light up his face well and it should work nicely and we'll all be able to see and hear him!

And then come and set me up. I spent the first 10 minutes trying to read Mark's lips, and then another 20 to realize my camera wasn't on.

Buy this, plug it in, install the drivers. Done. It really is an easy setup. Zoom will let you test your audio and video beforehand to make sure it's all working properly...

There are other, cheaper, options as well. This is just the one I bought, for the quality I'm getting, I think it's a good value.
