Question in advance of our next call. This post is about the build, team and support system only Options

I was sitting here thinking about the launch of the fund raiser and the call out for 914 guys and gals to assist in the final build of Buttercup.

I'm not sure if we have discussed this yet, but I was thinking we may need more than just mechanics.

There may be the need for food and beverage people. People have to eat. I we had someong in charge of meals and snacks we could just keep working. We may have someone with skills in this area will to step up.

There may be the need for someone that has a parts contact to be available to ship parts overnight if we discover something we need to finish. This could truely become a world event with everyone involved either as a on-site participate or a support person in another part of the country.

We will need someone that has overnight shipping skills.

Anything else?

I know that Mary has already offered to feed the group. There is a chance we can use the maintenance hangar at the airport - it has radiant heat and a kitchen (oh yeah and bathrooms - inside joke) where Mary said she could cook.

The car cannot stay there (there is a rule about wrenching on cars at the airport) but for a weekend it should be okay. But would have to be out of there Sunday evening as the shop does aircraft work during the week.

There is another option for a heated facility that Mary can check out if need be - but we won't freeze and it can be cold in February in Kansas.
