Ok Folks, it's now less than 1 month from the time that we'll be
blocking our campsites, and some people will be onsite relaxing
and enjoying the pre-show within 30 days. Everything is now ready
with the online info needed to get you started for reserving
campsites, and I have a new launch page for everything
OSH related for our RV-10 group. http://www.myrv10.com/osh
Bob is handling all campsite reservations, so by following the
links off of the one above, you can get all paid up for your
campsite and ensure you have space. This is done as a non-profit
nice thing by Bob and Gary. The only change to previous info
we posted is that the paypal fees are often slightly different
depending on who sends payment, as there are different fees for
different countries, so rather than $8 (of which the normal
U.S. person I think cost $8.50 last year), we set it to $10
so that Bob would lose less money. You can, of course,
avoid paypal fees by mailing him a check directly. If you
choose the mailing option, please make sure to have it to
Bob well in advance of 7/20, so he has time to cash it
and have your money available to pay the EAA when he registers
sites on 7/21. If you are getting a campsite, please read
all of the camping related links fully. And if you choose not
to pre-register for a campsite, please don't just show up
and ask for space on a site...it's not fair to the people
planning to have to juggle space on a moments notice.
MAKE SURE you give your EAA number to Bob when you pay
for your site...he absolutely needs that for your reservation.
And, last year I was blindsided a bit by one other issue...
to reserve your site you need to be an active EAA Member,
so make sure your EAA renewal isn't about to expire. I had
to pay a couple renewals on the spot last year in order
to reserve sites...we don't want that happening again.
For people flying into OSH, if you update your builders list
entry you can send me the dates your plane will be displayed,
so that others can see it. There are actually people
that will plan their OSH schedule around such celebrities
as Deems Davis.  For RV-10 fly-ins, I haven't yet heard
from Jeff Point, but I am pretty sure it will be the same
as usual...RV-10's parking together due to size, so they will
want a good estimate of quantities and dates so they block our
RV-10 area accordingly. Parking is free for fly-in homebuilts.
If you're camping out by your plane, you will not likely have
any need to reserve space. You just get stuck out in the back
lot and get whatever spot is available. If you're planning
to fly in and camp, use the same system and I can mark you
as homebuilt camping and it will let people know where to look
for your plane.
For people wanting to volunteer for parking RV-10's during the
first busy days of the show, again, Jeff hasn't yet requested
it but I'm sure he'll appreciate any help you can give, AND
you get a T-shirt, so I have links to the volunteer chart
for that too. You can email me or use the comments box in
the "update builders list" link to pass on the info.
The Airventure grounds have changed some since last year, so
refer to http://www.airventure.org for info on the changes.
We will try to post current photos once sites are blocked,
and of course you'll see emails here on status updates as
we get closer.
It should be a good year for RV-10's with all the growth
we've had recently in our population. I hope to see many
flying RV-10's out in the lot!

There is now a more detailed map of the upgraded OSH grounds at http://www.airventure.org/planning/AV2009_grounds_map.pdf
For reference, our usual location for RV-10 HQ is just south of Paul's Park and just west of Knapp St. For maximum confusion, North is left on this map...
