We're coming up on the last call for campsites pretty quickly.
We've got 16 sites being held all for specific individuals who've
actually contacted Bob with their request. 16 sites is a pretty
good sized area, but we'd be happy to rope off a couple more
if there are more people who want to camp in that area. The
info is all on the builders list page on how to sign up, but
email Bob Condrey if you have questions.
Here is the current reservation chart:

For those who will be flying your RV-10 to OSH, please, if you do
just one thing this year, FLY SAFE, and also READ and PRINT
and CARRY the NOTAM. Be Prepared. We don't want the first
RV-10 crash to be at OSH, that's for sure.
Here is a copy of the notam:

Now, for something I'd consider REQUIRED READING, you want
to check out this article that should whip you into shape
attitude wise before flying in. You'd be a fool not to heed
the warning.

On the builders list page I have added info for use for
helping you around the show, much of it straight from the EAA
site. The OSH 2007 Planning guide, among others.

Also there are grounds maps, and maps to our area in scholler, which
will be updated after the 17th when Bob is on site.
It's looking like it's going to be a great year for gatherings, with
lots of people showing up at the show, and a bunch going to Van's
banquet and the BBQ. For those who are staying there and have
young kids, I'm sure if you're camping we'll be able to
coordinate some good times where the kids can all hang out.
I myself have decided that this year I'm going to take it one step
up off the ground and I picked up a small camper for the show, so
I'm kind of pumped about the whole camping thing.
As for fly-in arrivals, if there is anyone planning to go early
on Sunday, I could find a way to meet up with you and fly in
at the same time. My home airport (KLUM) has fuel for $3.75/gal,
which in this area is very good. It's a 1 hr leg from there to
OSH, so it makes a great last fuel stop that gives you just
enough time to re-read the NOTAM on the first half of the flight
over, and from there on in you need to be on the ball big time.
Also, if you're flying your RV-10 in, please let me know and
I'll put it on the list where it will be parked (HBP or HBC).
That way people will know where to go see it. There are
lots of excited RV-10 builders out there wanting to eyeball
all the finished planes.
Again though, if you're planning on camping in the RV-10 common area,
shoot Bob your request right away. It will save you lots of
walking and you'll find it very convenient.

Ben Moyle mentioned in the article was flying a Glasair III. He and I went
to lots of airshows together with our III's. I don't know about his, but
mine stalled at 95mph when loaded. I went around several times at OSH
because someone felt he needed to show how slow his plane could fly.
As they say, fly the plane, fly the plane!
