The first time I flew the standard 90kt VFR arrival via RIPON and FISKE. It was a hot day and with wheels and 10deg of flaps down I just about cooked my oil. Since then I've made some significant improvements to the oil cooing on my plane, but I'd really like to not drag around at 90kts for safety reasons. Diving back down to the 90kt altitude make me pretty nervous with the limited visibility down in our planes. Have any of you flown the 135kt VFR arrival that is 500' higher than the 90kt folks? What has been your experience? I've seen the commentary about the warbird arrival and I'd prefer to not get cross with anyone at OSH or give anyone more reason to resent Lancair flyers as a group. The NOTAM seems pretty clear to me that this arrival is for warbirds and turboprops. Any constructive tips appreciated... Dan Olsen N320DK Fort Collins, CO
