Just you EAA continuing to do what they can to suppress the experimental side of things. Next year they will cite the few Auto Engined aircraft in the "Auto" parking area as justification for doing away with it altogether. Just wait and see.

Gee, that reminds me my membership expries next month, guess I'd better rejoin {:>)

For the group from Laura Crook - Tracy was unable to park in the auto powered area this year. He arrived at 7:30 PM MONday - the auto area was full of mostly NON auto powered airplanes, even though there was plenty of other open space close by. We don't know what that was about. Anyway, he said he is a "few rows away" from the auto powered planes and he is registered - go ot the homebuilt registration building to get the row number of the RVOtter if anybody wants to locate him.

Thanks for the Oskosh report, Barny. The way the EAA has been going with experimental stuff, they probably put Tracy and the other "Alternative" engine stuff out behind the OutHouse.

A nice sunny day, highs about 85 degrees.

Couldn't find Tracy. He wasn't where he has been the last couple of years.

The corral at noon on the north side of the tower didn't have any rotor heads that I recognized.

Blue Mountain is now in one of the hangars.

The RV 10 was there at Van's.

John Dykes Delta Dyke airplane now has over 2000 hours on it. (Eat your heart out Kelly)

The certified Seawind was there. Very nice aircraft, ugly price tag (IMHO)

The Russians showed up with a LOW wing twin engine seaplane. The wings are about 4" above the water. A underwhelming exhibition at the seabase.

Met several 2500 Super Rebel builders. All say the same thing. Great plane, great parts, and the manual belonging in a building with a crescent moon on it....

My wife says the MGDQ needs a set of 3200 amphibs...... Never argue with your wife.

Going back Thursday or Friday.
