If anyone gets to OSH and discovers they need tiedowns, EAA Chapter 444 sells tiedowns that are similar to what Paul describes below at the tiedown shack near homebuilt parking. They are based on the design in the article below and they have sold thousands of these and have never had a complaint that I'm aware of. Many were in use down at Lakeland this year and no one lost their aircraft because of them. I know this sounds like a shameless plug but this is the primary revenue driver for the chapter for the year and I can't see spending the money on the Claw or others when these work just as good. They are $20 for purchase or you can "rent" them by returning them for $10 back at the end of the show.

Another shameless plug, W34 (30 miles due north from OSH) is having their annual fly-in on Sat/Sun this week. It's one of the best kept grass strips in the state. They have live music on Sat and breakfast on Sunday. More info below.

Lastly, 68C has decided to have their famous Friday lunch this year during Airventure. They usually don't but due to popular demand they have decided to go ahead and have it this year. This is one of the best lunches in the area and if you want to get out of OSH for an afternoon, head up there.
