Its a convenient stop so we will probably be there doing a forum or two and with the plane, trailer, and little Roadtrek RV on display. Hope to see you, and chat. And yes I had the rig on display at Oshkosh during most of Air Venture until a big charity run event took over our spot near the Red Barn UL area.

I'm going to try very hard to make it to CS this Fall. Look for a red and yellow Rans S7S, N137SW. If you are ever in the Lake Havasu area, let me know. Debra McBean sent me looking for you after I asked about trailering Kitfoxes. Unfortunately, I got there just after you left. I hadn't purchased my S7S yet, and was still shopping for a plane. It finally came down to tandem versus side by side, and the Rans won. I was very interested in a Kitfox Paul told me about, and would have bought it, but the deal didn't materialize. They are great planes. See you at CS.

We enjoy Lake Havasu. The waterfront camp ground there (state park I think?) does not allow RV generators at night for AC and dose not have shore power hook ups. WE watch the weather for early Nov cold fronts to visit. BJ > > Thanks, BJ. I'm going to try very hard to make it to CS this Fall. Look > for a red and yellow Rans S7S, N137SW.
