Hello everyone. ..I'm finally going to Oshkosh this year..I'm excited:) I was wondering how many of you are going to Airventure this year--I'd like to put some faces to the names I've been seeing this past year or so. Is there a "Lancair Tent" or something like that where all of the different aircraft are? I've never been and I am definately looking forward to it. Any pointers for first-timers would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Adam
[Both the Lancair kit and certified factories will have tents at Oshkosh where you can meet up with the factory folks and for sure bump into more than a few of your LML buddies. Also, on Sunday, 8/1/04 I will be hosting the annual Lancair Builders' Forum in pavillion 5 labelled the Aircraft Shopper Online Pavilion. We'll have a great group of guest speakers once again, I hope you'll be there. The factory will also be putting on its annual dinner, although the details of time and location have yet to be finalized. At any rate, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to mingle with the Lancair community... I guarantee you'll have a great time.

Adam,
If ,and only if, you are flying in practice slow flight! I don't mean
stalls or approach to stalls, I mean slow flight. Lancair fliers are stuck
behind spam can slugs with pilots that think the speed limit is a max and that
their objective is to fly as slow as possible below the speed limit. This
is the only reason that I have chosen to enter the AirVenture Cup Dash - I feel
more comfortable approaching OSH at race speeds rather than taking the
higher 120 Knot altitude and falling in behind two twins trying to test
VMC.
Practice slow flight and turns for 30 minutes at a time. Get the
numbers down cold. Use flaps and gear if it helps. Practice this and you
will feel much more comfortable when flying to OSH.
If you are driving, go like hell until near OSH. Then, just accept
the ticket and find a parking spot.
I hate to fly slow...

Fly the
warbird approach and don't worry about going slow. So what if they
call you a turboprop, its all about being safe. Flying with the spam
cans at 75 knots isn't safe
Shannon,
Ever fly behind a T6?
Maybe you're right. This could be interesting. If you plan on
arriving Monday the 26 at midday, note that the Warbird Approach might be a bit
busy - An Armada of T6s from ARR and some number of Racers (Last year 76) flying
low and fast, having made the turn north at RFD, will all be converging -
TCASs turned off.
Gives me goose bumps.

Mine CWF is 10,700 by 200 so I guess I will have to move my bird. By the way we have some of the crop dusters that only use the 200. Whay bother turning on to the runway. Ray
You are displaying your ignorance of airline flying. This is common
in the U.S. today, due to the millions of stockholder money spent by airline
presidents like Lorenzo, Wolfe, Crandall, Carty, and others on advertising
to down grade airline pilots. There was an economic reason for this,
cheaper wages meant more money in these thieves pockets, not cheaper airline
tickets. Examine the records, airline pilots are safer in any type of
machine. Not all ATP holders are airline pilots!
I am making my first trip to OSH in a IVP and am concerned about taxing off the hard surfaces through the grass to the homebuilt camping area. I will arrive on Sunday morning. Suggestions?

I got stuck in my IV-P 3 years ago it took 4 people to move it forward just beware of the parking areas and choose a high point and keep it light of fuel I suggest taxing to the fbo prior to departure for fill up
best of luck

Taxi slow, be careful of the drainage ditches and depressions so that you don't strike your prop, and follow the instrucitons of the flagmen. When in doubt, shut it down and a gang of folks will arrive to help you push it into spot. Better safe than sorry-- and by the way, I do not recommend landing or taking off a IV or IVP on grass.

Pressurize hyd sys (gear down natch) BEFORE allowing a gaggle to push/ pull airplane fwd in soft dirt. Prevents breaking down lock pins in Actuators.

Usually the only ones who say not to use grass have never tried grass! I do
it all the time, it is not as nice on the air filter but other than that not a
problem. Ron

Hi Berni,
On the 4 occasions that I have flown into Airventure(twice in my Propjet) I have filed IFR flight plans and have found this to be a relative nonevent and IMHO a safer way to arrive at OSH during notam time. Perhaps I was just lucky but generally they've vectored me right in. Read the notam as you'll need a reservation time for IFR arrival. I won't be going this year but have a great time!

I will be flying into Wittman Regional (OSH) for the first time on Friday, July 25th which is the first day the NOTAM is in effect. I have been told that the warbird arrival is the best to use if flying a Lancair Legacy. First of all, is the warbird arrival the one I should be using? Second, any suggestions from those of you that have done this before would be sincerely appreciated.

Does anyone have a reservation at the Hilton that they won't be needing on Wednesday? I'm staying there on Tuesday and Thursday but hate to move for one night.
