Not a lot new today but here's my impression of the show so far:
Avionics: The intro of the G600 and G900 is definitely the highlight of the show, especially since Garmin didn't prep the vendors very well for questions. Good thing they aren't going to be available until 2007.
Lycoming type engines: Not as much 540 material or displays as last year for some reason. Most vendors have the same displays they always have. I did not that Aerosport didn't even have a 540 in their booth. Barratt has Mike Sausen's on display (very nice).
"Other" engines: Very much toned down from prior years. Eggenfellner only has their demo plane in their booth - not even the static display of the engine that they've had in prior years. No hint of anything at all targeted at the RV-10 crowd. I didn't go into their booth but didn't see any brochures, signage, etc. Deltahawk is a replay of the last several years. Innodyne is almost non-existant. Mistral has a similar display to prior years but I haven't stopped in yet. I haven't seen any of the other engine folks but haven't covered the entire grounds yet either.
New planes: RV-12 is getting a lot of curiosity but since it's with the other Van's models and not anywhere close to the other LSAs it's hard to say if it's real interest. I haven't been to the LSA area yet. Honda announced some sort of alliance with Piper to produce their VLJ.
Picture of the day is the Camp Scholler entrance into AirVenture from Wednesday morning.

BTW. Thanks so much for the updates. I must admit I keep scanning my
inbox, looking for more information, either pictures or summaries like
below. It's great to have you there, and the rest of the crowd. I'd
request more pictures, if you have the opportunity, but the verbal summaries
are very welcome, indeed. I know folks come and go, but if possible, I
request a group picture of the RV-10 builders. Maybe there will be a time
when most are in attendance. Be nice to gather them all together a take
some shots.
How is Rob Hickman's booth doing?

We'll work on a group shot. Rob's 3400 and 3500 look very nice. They still have a little work to do with the CDI and GS functions but it looks close. They are supposed to be using a certified AHRS so hopefully they'll avoid some of the experimental aspects of that.
