There are a lot of images on this page, and it may load slowly if you have a dial-up internet connection.

Every year, there are too many great canard aircraft to include pictures of each.
We had some spectacular weather in 2007, making up for a rainy Saturday last year.
|
James Redmon's Berkut! Sweet!

Harry's Defiant! Nice!

Spam can? Must be a canard builder! :^)

It's good to see some of the other canard designs, like
Quickies.

This is always my wife's favorite, and leads to a conversation that starts with, “Couldn't you put some cute...” and ends with me saying “No”.

|
The Allison's flew in from Park Rapids Minnesota. These nice folks went out of their way to strike up a friendly conversationand I greatly appreciated it. That's a throwback to past years and a long tradition of friendly canard conversations on the ramp at Rough River.

Lots of camping. It's becoming more popular every year, and is a great way to stay close to the action and carry the camaraderie well into the night.

The Rough River prop swap!
|
Rob Martinson flies his fast Varieze to Rough River every year.
|
Rob's long prop extension may be one of his go-fast secrets.
|
Marc Zeitlin explains his Belleville washer prop mounting
modification.
|
Marc Zeitlin's Belleville washers maintain the force between
the prop and prop flange when the prop expands and shrinks with
changes in humidity, reducing the need for frequent prop torque
maintenance.

I have high resolution versions of these images. If anyone
would like me to email them an image or two, you can make an email
request to webmonkey at rough river dot org.
These pictures represent the quick walk through on Friday
afternoon. If anyone has one to five artistic images they'd like
to add, please email them to me, along with any info and your name
and any other photo credit info you'd like posted. Please do not
mail me a DVD with 2.6 GB of high res TIFF images and ask me to
pick the best ones. I'd be particularly interested in any photos
that might have been taken in the Friday afternoon aerial
photography flight.
I compiled a rough video, about two minutes long. It doesn't
compare to the artistic videos that others have made, but if you
want some idea of what Rough River is like, it might offer insight
not found in static images.
