Of course I'm opinionated as I'm in charge of the Seaplane Base. Oh yeah, you can ride the seaplane bus both ways from the main field for $2. The bus is located south of the ultralight runway and runs every half hour. But buy your tickets at the base as soon as you can as we only sell 500 tickets. And when they're gone they're gone. It certainly would be nice to put faces with names!

300F max on the CHT is right...   IF the CHT and Cyl Water Temp have a direct corelation...then
I am okay at 230!  Just not sure if they do..

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...

Hi Notice member is fitting up a Suzi Geo 3 cyl , I am in throws of 
fitting up 1.3 liter 4 cyl efi into Australian Aeropup which is a 
somewhat related to the Kitfox ie Kitfox and the now defunct Oz Skyfox 
was originally a joint venture to produce kitfoxes in Oz but they did 
not pass the load tests so the Skyfox ended up as a beefed up Kitfox, 
the production manager at Skyfox was then employed by me to design the 
Aeopup see  www.aeropup.com  they have mainly been using Jabirus, 4 and 
6 cly, 912's Subarus and VW and now we are doing the Suzi thing, any 
feedback from members using these would be greatly appreciated.

believe it or not, the tent is about 20 years old.  When I went through all my
stuff, I found my new tent was much heavier that this one, so I brought this one,
than later on I was looking at the plane from a distance and said, wow, the
colors all match, cool.

I know this is a very long shot but does anyone have a set of 850x6 tubes they
aren't using or don't want?  I have had a set on order from Cheif for a couple
months now and they are telling me it will be at least the end of this year,
first of next before they start making them again.  My plane is not flying yet
but at this rate, I figure I better start looking now or I won't be flying for

(they are in stock) if I can't find any of the 850's but I am hoping someone

  I think your instructor is right. I can't cite the FAR # but I recall from my

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.

Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Student pilot solo to Oshkosh 2006?

FAR 61.93 - The distance and state is not the issue.  The flight instructor
has to feel that you have the experience to safely conduct the flight and he
signs your logbook specifically based on known weather conditions.  

As an instructor, I can tell you that I would not endorse any student for
that trip and certainly not into the Oshkosh airport.  There are many
experienced pilots who will not fly into Oshkosh and many who have only
flown in once.  I would prefer not to be alone so that I had additional sets
of eyes if possible.  I think it's a great idea to fly in with someone else
before acting as PIC.

Remember that students are not allowed to fly into certain busy terminal
areas solo - Oshkosh is busier than all of them.

You are correct, Marco....I just got signed off for 5 grass strips 
within 25nm from my home base. Next are fields within 50nm, then 
pavement (according to the instructor)...I haven't found a FAR that 
says that I can't go to Osh alone, but common sense tells me I 
shouldn't....dammit!

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.

24ZM, eh?....sounds familiar....I think I got a ride in that plane when 
it was here in Michigan, just before the new owner took it out to 
California. Deke flew it in here and Duane (new owner) left it in my 
hangar for a month before taking it west...nice job Danny....REAL nice.

My instructor tells me that if Oshkosh was a month later, I'd be going 
on my own, but he instructs me part-time, and flies for American 
Airlines, so not able to give me the finishing steps for the Sport 
Pilot Certificate in the next two weeks...what a shame...but I'll find 
a way to get it up there, if I have to let someone else take 
it....nahhhhh!

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.

Tried Desser...they are out of stock also.  They don't have any 850's in stock
regardless of brand.  I think I have tried nearly all the major suppliers and
some of the not so major ones.  It is the same story everywhere...something to
do with McCreary and Goodyear loosing their rubber supplier and having to produce
new molds, etc.  This bites!

The Canadian rules are essentially the same as in the U.S., Dave.  You quoted:

When you are not over a "built-up area" you can fly 2 feet off the 
ground as long as that leaves you 500 feet from any person, vessel, 
vehicle or structure and you could safely land from there.
