Was wondering if there would be many Kitfoxers  driving/flying/walking/etc. into AirVenture this year.  I plan on  driving and being there for the week, but not the weekend, staying at Camp  Scholler.  It would be nice meet up with some of you great  people.  You know, talk Kitfox, tell lies, share some  refreshments, that sort of stuff.  Perhaps we could also make a point to  meet up somewhere during the week, maybe Acey Ducey?

 Anybody interested?

Deke,

 

 I plan to fly in to Oshkosh with my Series 6.  Weather permitting I plan to be there late in the day (after the air show) on Wednesday the 26th and depart on Sunday morning the 30th.  Ray Gignac plans to fly with me in his Model IV if he can get out of jury duty.  We will be parking in the Experimental parking area with the other Kitfoxes.

There will be a bunch of us parked together on the flight line. Good place to meet up for the first time.

My friend James Johnson and I will be flying our IV Speedsters in from Denver on Saturday.  We'll be camping in the homebuilt camping area.  Hope to see many of you and we'd like to hear if any event gets organized so we can join you.  My cell is (303) 807-4699.  Looking forward to the big event and seeing Kitfox Aircraft LLC.

Hey, this is a great start!  Several years ago a bunch of us met for  drinks and dinner at the Acey Ducey lounge, an old pilot hangout in the  residential area of old Oshkosh.  Supposedly all the Oshkosh biggies, Steve  Whitman, Paul Poberezny, etc used to spend a lot of time there swapping  lies.  Lots of memorabilia and character.  I'll be driving so it  wouldn't be difficult to play taxi driver if we can organize a day/time.   Googling should bring up a map.

I won't be flying my IV in this year (tough without wings, engine, landing gear...), yet I will be flying right seat in an RV-6A from AZ. We will be pulling in Monday morning and staying 3 or 4 days. A good place to congregate  would be the new Kitfox LLC booth. Count me in if a happening develops.

tell Mike Fisher "Hi" from John Kerr and Phil Swensen of UT.  We won't be flying in this year because of a health problem with one of Phil's grandkids.  We spent a lot of time with Mike and John King in the Kitfox area in '99, I believe.  It is amazing the sence of togetherness that is felt at this and similar venues.

Hey Deke, I'm looking for someone to be the "legal" PIC aboard my plane 

for the trip over. My instructor has given me his blessing on making 

the trip (I'm still a student pilot, although with over 20 hrs solo in 

the 'fox), but of course I need a "real" pilot on board to be legal. 

I'm still looking into the logistics of the whole thing....4 trips 

there in my motorhome don't count much when going by air, I'm learning.

Hi John-

I spoke with you a couple of years ago, just before I started my IV 

kit. Can you tell me about camping under the wing of ones' own plane in 

the experimental area? I noticed that you and several others' 'foxes 

were parked together, but separate from another batch of 'foxes. Can 

anyone who has camped with his/her plane bring me up to date?



Lynn

p.s. I got out of my jury duty for this trip...

Hey Rex-

I'm hoping to make it this year, but need someone to be the PIC to my 

student pilot endeavors...how about sending me a personal reply?

Sounds like you are a "real" pilot as long as you are flying alone. What is 

the problem?   Larry

My instructor says that going that distance, alone, out-of-state, 

whatever, is against the rules of the "student pilot certificate"...is 

he wrong?

What do the FARs say?  I know up here in the great white, not this time of

year, north it would be illegal until a pilot permit is issued.



How long is your flight to Osh Lynn?  I might try it next year on floats.

Lynn,

 

 The Experimental parking area next to the flightline cannot be used for camping or sleeping under the wing.  The camp ground area is used for that purpose.  Sometimes the camp ground area will be filled, but they usually will tell you that on the radio when flying in over Ripon.  When the camp ground area is filled they will only allow show planes in.  My cell number is (540) 219-3543

No doubt he is correct. I flew (alone) for a lot of years before I took my 

check ride, but once I had successfully made my Xcountry solo flight I could 

go where I pleased. Never had a radio ,so that wasn't a problem. Sectionals 

and a compass don't quit working.

But things change a lot in 40 years. Listen to your instructor, take your 

check ride,and make it alone next year. Best wishes.      Larry Huntley

Back in '98 I flew N24ZM from south Florida to Oshkosh while still a student pilot.  What I did was find a local instructor who had always wanted to go but never had the chance. The instuctor wasn't tail wheel qualified so we got him checked out so we were legal. It was a great trip and I got to do a bit of instructing as well because I had to coach him through most of his landings:) I logged about 25 hrs of cross country dual.

It's about 420 miles, going around the "horn"...Chicago that is. I used 

my GPS to measure from my place to a spot just west of Chicago's mode C 

veil, then north to Osh. I recall that it was about 430 - 450 by ground 

vehicle.

Lynn,

 Another option if the experimental  camping is full is to fly in as an ultralight and land in the  ultralight field and camp there. There always seems to be plenty of room there  for planes and camping. I flew my fox in there for several years that way, no  radio communication needed, just need to call ahead to verify the field is  open. You also get to fly in staying under 300 AGL, a real blast and  the grass strip is plenty big enough for a fox.

 Lloyd
