    Subject: Oshkosh Anyone?
    Booth LD 03 is our Sun N Fun booth. I should have removed the link to the sun N fun page. Oshkosh booth is 427 & 428 in the north aircraft display area. We are just north of Zenith and just south of Van's aircraft and across the street from Jabiru USA. Pete Krotje _____ From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Jim Langley Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 10:01 PM Subject: Lightning-List: Oshkosh Anyone? I can't believe that Oshkosh is less than six weeks away! Things have been a little quiet on the forum lately, so I thought I would ask two questions. "Who's going to Oshkosh?" and "When will you be there?" I'll start off: I will be there the 26-28th. I guess the Arion Aircraft booth at LD 03 will be the gathering place? Pete; is it useful to keep some kind of message board, (whiteboard?) so the Lightning users can stay in contact with each other? The Murphy guys used to do that all the time and it worked well. Any kind of gathering while we are there? Jim!

    Jim and all Lightning listers, I will be at OSH a week to ten days early (as always) as I work in the Vintage Aircraft Show Plane registration area, and I will stay the entire week of the show. I will be camping in the vintage area, but hope to have N31BZ parked near where it was last year which was in the homebuilt area near the main entrance to the flight line - just in front of the control tower. Pete, I can't seem to find the sign you guys made up for last year directing people to the Lightning display area, so hopefully you have it there - or can make up a new one for this year. It certainly seemed to help get people interested and headed to your area. I would like to say I could save some parking spots for Lightnings, but alas, I have no pull in the homebuilt parking area. Things would be different if we had vintage airplanes, as I could make that happen. But if you guys arrive early, good parking spots will be available. Last year I was the second homebuilt there (the first one was local). The good parking spots start to fill up the weekend before the official start date. Don't know if Pete or Nick has a forum planned on the Lightning this year, but if so, be sure to make that and lend support to this great design. In years past we have gotten together at least once during the week at the Lightning display area and then had lunch as a group to discuss Lightning topics with interested people. This year there should be more folks there that have flown a Lightning, so we should have a larger group. I hope to see many of the listers there. Blue Skies, Buz PS: For those of you that might be camping at OSH, here is a list of items to consider when packing your airplane or car. The list was when I used to take the Bonanza, but when I took the Cub, the list was obviously smaller. A Lightning should hold the complete list if you are traveling alone. 1. Rain jacket or Poncho 2. Hat 3. Shower Sandals 4. Cell Phone and charger 5. Sunglasses 6. Back pack 7. Digital camera and charger 8. Flashlight 9. Spare batteries (these are available from venders at OSH) 10. Knife 11. Duct Tape 12. Scissors 13. Toiletries (toothpaste, soap, shaving kit) 14. Baby wipes 15. Soap 16. Plastic tarp 17. Camping cord / rope 18. Tent 19. Inflatable camping mattress 20. pillow 21. Towels 22. Sheets, blankets, or sleeping bag 23. Alarm clock 24. Fluorescent camping lantern and D cells 25. Disposable plates, utensils 26. Garbage bags 27. Toilet paper 28. Zip lock bag assortment 29. Folding chairs 30. Aluminum bi-fold table 31. Cooler or coolers 32. Cups and Paper Plates 33. Paper Towels 34. Stake Hammer 35. Mosquito repellant 36. Sun block 37. First Aid kit 38. Basic OTC medication assortment (Pain relief, upset stomach, cough, etc) 39. 2nd skin blister pads 40. Sewing kit 41. good quality airplane tie downs. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

    Subject: Re: build, first time around
    Hi John, I have been about 6 weeks now, I might just add, In Shelbyville 4 of us with there supervision only took 1 week. The problem here is, one is on his own and for every 1 hour of build time there is 4 hrs of think time and of course no other a/c to look at. I'm still keen to build another after this and I feel it would most certinly take half the time. I think build supervision has it's merits, ask Dennis what he thinks.
