I'll try to remember to measure the clearance next time I get to th e plane I do get oil which seems to all come from the breather tube. I should have a better measure but it seems to be down about a quart per 25 - 30 hours. It stays pretty clean. I do get a little soot coming out of the gear exit points at the wing roots ( ??)

Great event and make sure you get their dinner too. Lots of hiking in the area too. If you want to fly ~1hr west, you can reach the mountains of northern New Me xico. Red River is one of our favorite places.

Nearby and cheaper fuel is the Tradewinds airport, which I have used probably a dozen times. Tradewinds is closer to the hotels lining I-10, so you can pick whatever flavor you prefer. There is ground reception with approach control/clearance del at Tradewinds, so Class C clearance is no problem. At the time I was flying by there, one or more of the hotels would pick you up, as they are less than 2 mi away.

We used KAMA because the rental cars at Tradewinds airport were ridiculous. TacAir at KAMA did a great job and shuttled us over to the terminal for the rental. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Canyon, the Best Western was full of firefighters. These are the closest hotels to the park. Buffalo's has good food. Palo Duro Canyon was very interesting. We hiked to the Lighthouses, 85 when we started, 105 when we finished. Take at least three quarts of water per person as the dry air will dehydrate you quickly. The burgers at the park concession are from the local longhorn steers and are awesome.

Hot and Dusty. I was behind a C-172 coming in so I just flew it at 85knots with half flaps. I didn't go last year, but I can say that there were only half the home builts there that I saw in 2010. Actually, lots of empty spaces on all the ramps. The big problem for HBs is they close the ramp a half hour before any show and wait until the final act pilot is half way to the bar before they open back up. If the shows actually started on time, I could understand. IF I go again, I'm not parking at HB. I'll find a ramp that doesn't close during the show. I only saw two other RV-10s at HB during the two days we were there. John -------- #40572 Phase One complete and flying.

I have been once in 2009 and may go with my brother from KSEF next year. I'll make sure I don't park in HB area. Triple Tree will probably be much nicer for me. -------- Wayne Gillispie, A&P 05/93 PP 10/08 40983SB 12/1/2009-12/1/2011 N715WD 382nd Flying.
