Who all is going to Oshkosh this year? I got a E-mail from Scott Trask
wondering if I was going and swinging bye his place on the way. I hope every
one has a great and safe time this year.
I'm going to miss Oshkosh this year. My son is getting married on Saturday
and family obligations will keep me tied up the rest of the week.
Last year one of our group got separated and lost trying to find the
Ultralight strip. He found an emergency strip near the EAA camp ground and
landed. The local EAA Gestapo descended on the poor guy with the intent of
major harassment. Finally clearer heads prevailed and he was allow to take
off with directions and landed at the Ultralight strip. Afterwards I had a
conversation and later via E-Mail with the head guy for the Ultralight area
and tried to convince him that they should publish GPS coordinates for the
Ultralight strip but didn't get anywhere. They want eyes out side the
cockpit even if they are lost. Remember two years ago a pair of lost trikes
did the unforgivable and landed at the Pioneer airstrip.
Also I was able to get the fuel trucks to cross over to the Ultralight
camping area and fuel us up with 100LL. Sure was easer than lugging fuel
cans for a mile. (well seem like it at the time). The fuel guys were able to
sell enough fuel that they said they would be happy to return.
Thirteen+ years of enjoying this list just the way it is.

I see you are back from Oshkosh. Anything new? Photos?
I saw a photo of Gene Smith (Valley Engineering & Colver Prop) flying a 4
stroke V twin powered plane. They seem to fly but he has a real knack of
building ugly airplanes.

Hi Rick/All:
Got home about 1300 today.
Will write a short report of my flight and OSH after I get my gear
unpacked and the washer going.
Gene's "Barn Yard Flyer" was powered by a Generac V-Twin. Gene says
he is modifying it and producing 40 hp. Of course, it is turning the
prop through a reduction drive. The airplane is so ugly it sorta
grows on me. I like the looks of Gene sitting on the wing, climbing
out steeply and putting around the UL pattern.
More later,
john h

I talked to Gene and his Son about the engine. They are going to be putting
this on a Kolb soon. They weren't sure if it was a Mk II or early III. The
Kolb belongs to Dick Starks wife of the Dawn Patrol fame. I am only about 3
hr drive from them. When it is done, I may drive up and have a look.
Considering the engine on a Firestar.
