Matt, and I are also back home from Oshkosh. 4.75 hours on the return flight. It was great to meet you and the rest of the Kitfox folks.
Yea, a cold beer and a little air conditioning is a wonderful thing!

Not to mention a real bed and a home-cooked meal!
Uneventful return flight at 7,500 msl over Lake Michigan with a 20 knot tail wind.

Did you run into rain, Keith? When I flew out of the Homebuilder's
Review Flight, it was right on 3 pm, Wisconsin time, and I ran into
kinda dreary conditions west of Chicago, staying at 1600 msl, coming
between JOT and LOT, then a little further east saw lightning. A
nearby ATIS said lighting to the far east and southeast, so I bent my
course slightly NE and kept flying. I shortly came into sunny skies
and no more bad signs. My low fuel warning light came on (indicating
15 minutes remaining) as I was letting down near my home field. As
you might recall, it also came on during base to 36L at Oshkosh. It
must be that the original designers engineered the size of those
tanks for exactly a Grass Lake, MI-to-Oshkosh trip. : )
Ron Smith had a pretty good day at the Seaplane Base and dinner, but
I won't spoil the surprise if he chooses to tell about it.
Yes, it was great to put some faces to the names here on the list.

Hi again Lynn,,yes I have fixed the tail wheel problem.I took my old 1
|
leaf spring.and had 2 new ones made just like the old one,plus added
1in.to it..I made it out of reg steel.since my old one was all so
steel.I drilled+ formed the bends in my shop press.I am now just
finishing every thing up.I all so added new Tundra Tires,rims new brakes
etc.new door latches+window vents..now I have to get it re
weighed+annual done..and I think N554KF is ready to fly again..I do not
think I have to worry about the tail wheel breaking off any more..STEVE
