DUSTER SAILPLANE REUNION
30th Anniversary 1971-2001

Tehachapi, California--September 1, 2001

"The Duster at 30: 1971 - 2001"
Mountain Valley Airport Tehachapi, California
Saturday September 1, 2001
at Sailplane Homebuilders Association Western Workshop

The Duster is a wooden, 13 meter homebuilt sailplane, first introduced
to the soaring community in 1971. Easy to rig, fun to fly, L/D of 28.

If you are a Duster builder, pilot, or just plain curious, please plan
to attend. Everyone is welcome, especially "Maupin Woodstock cousins."

Hope to have rounded up some Duster Projects for sale,
and have some of them at the Workshop.

IMPORTANT: If you plan to attend, please register for the
SHA Workshop. Contact Jan Armstrong via email
danREMOVE*THIS*MIDDLE*TEXTa...@aol.com or phone her at (661)
822-8852.

Be sure to order your DUSTER T-SHIRT from Jan!

Also, please let me know if you're coming and if your plane is coming
with you. Contact via e-mail: Cam Martin jcma...@csurfers.net

Hope To See You Here!

Shaping up to be a great gathering,
