For those that made it to OSH, did Garmin have their new EFIS on
display? Are there any details that you can share about the unit?

Don't know yet. I think I have some time to decide -- like a couple years.
We'll see what sort of personality it takes on. But I'm sure it will be
nifty also. :)

If it was there, I didn't notice it -- but I went thru the buildings pretty
fast. It looks like a winner. Have you see any prices on it yet?

It looks like Vans has helped make up my mind as whether to go with a QB
kit or a slowbuild. As of now, all the fuselage components will be
match drilled instead of just the skins...that'll mean a few extra
dollars available for the fancy EFIS.

I haven't seen any pricing or detailed specs. It appears garmin has
taken to acting like Microsoft and announcing products before their
really ready. With all the equipment that's consolidated into the two
units, I'm sure they won't come cheap. I don't even know if two 10.4
inch displays will fit in the panel of the rv8.

I doubt two 10.4's will fit in an -8.
They did mention the price -- 900X is just a bit over 66k..
The smaller one is around 29k

| Subject: | Back from OSH ... (VERY LONG-WINDED) |
Well I finally made it back from Oshkosh.
After ten (10) days of RV/flying stuff, I must say I am tired.
First the formation clinic at SQI was great! We learned a lot and got in
some good practice. I think it showed at the OSH formation flying that was
done.
Second, the actual flying at OSH was wonderful in that a) it looked good
from what the pictures show and b) there were lots of people that thought it
looked good and really appreciated it. We were glad to be able to do it (I
know I was).
Third, as usual, a big THANKS goes out to the "tag team" of Falcon and
Kahuna. The combination of the two sets of skills and personalities makes it
all work. Not to mention the inordinate amount of personal TIME and
RESOURCES these two guys invest in making it be good and safe.
I left OSH on Saturday around noon as I heard that bad weather was enroute
for Sunday morning. I knew I would not make it all the way to Columbia
(can't quite do Flight Level 190 at 200+ knots :-) ). I hoped to make it to
Lexington Kentucky and then early the next morning scoot over to Columbia.
Hey if I went to the SC Breakfast Club I would surely win the prize for
larthest distance!! :-) .. Neither of these were to occur. I got as far a
just past Lafayette, Indiana (Purdue) when after decending to avoid buildups
*and* having the viz drop to ... let's just say LOW, *and* then having
Chicago Center say "radar contact lost *and* did I say it was HOT and muggy?
... I decided to do a 180 and spend the night at Lafayette as I had done on
a prior OSh return trip.
Well this choice was far more wise than I realized at the time because by
the time the hotel shuttle got me to the hotel, the skies opened up and the
"bottom fell out!" It POURED rain for some time. Where did it come from so
fast?? Good thing I got "Papa Juliette" in a hangar for the night.
THe next morning, I arrive bright and early to depart. But I cannot (at
elast not VFR). The airport is near a river and it is FOGGED IN!. So I wait,
and wait. Finally after getting a "Special" I depart and circle the airport
in a climb to see it it looks OK to launch. It looked fine so away I go. But
just after passing over Indianapolis, I hit a visibility WALL!! (This is
after descending again. I do this because I almost got caught in this type
weather one year ... running out of climb and places to go.). Immediate 180
to land at the first place in the "clear'. Turns out to be "Franklin Flying
Field (Indiana)". Nice people there. Got a turn of a WACO restoration
effort. One done .. two underway. RV's on the field. Get invited to Sunday
dinner with the airport manager at his parents place with the sibling and
grandkids! I get offered a place to stay if I get stuck and a vehicle to use
if I need to go into town!! Wow! They do this for a stranger who just
happened to wander in out of the sky on a bad weather day. Thanks folks. I
will never forget the visit.
After several hours there, I finally decide to launch, to see if I can at
least make it to KLEX (the original goal the day before). Well ... once
again, I hit the visibility WALL! I tell Center that I am doing a 180 to the
nearest airport (Madison Indiana) which is about 3 miles away. Again, the
airport is near a river (the Ohio River I think). Again, WONDERFUL people.
The lady at the front desk sits and chat with meas I lament about how hot it
is and how lousy the weather is and how long I have been trying to get home.
She is so pleasant that I soon forget about my woes and actually enjoy
sitting in the cool new FBO chatting. Some time later a guy stops in and
joins in on the conversation. He ends up offering to call the owner of a
nagar to see if I can "rent" it for the night if I get stuck. Anothe couple
pulls up in their Comanche from OSH. They later check on me and give me
their card, saying if I need anything ... just call. The local sage flight
instructor goes up with a student (locally) but comes back with a Pirep for
me after I have been there for a few hours. He now thinks I should be able
to make it to KLEX! SO off I go.
I make it KLEX just as a storm seems to be crawling in. Just as I pull up I
see a fella near a really NICE older Cessna 172 that has been restored. I
find out that he (and his wife) have WON AN AWARD at OSH!! (Deservingly so
... nice plane) and they are planning to go to Greenville/Spatanburg .. the
same route I need to take and he THINKS we can make it. We both check with
FSS again an they think we can make it. (By the way, this is the FIRST time
ever that the FSS people have been MORE optimistic about the weather than I
was ... and they were RIGHT!) We both launch with the goal of making it to
our destinations before dark (especially the crossing the mountains part).
Eventually the smog/haze thins out a bit up around 7500 and I ease along at
about 160kts (still 40+ shy of a certain RV :-) ) Once I do get across the
mountains I feel much better. At least I am back in SC and if the forecasted
rain sets in for the next few days, I am in driving distance and near
friends. So I start to descend. Back into the much. Man this viz stuff is
REALLY bad. Good thing we installed an autopilot as it is earling its keep
today. But what is that on the 396? A thunderstorm right near Columbia? And
it is about to get dark? And the lower I go the WORSE the viz is getting. Oh
well, I have plenty of options now as I am on home turf. I know the airports
and the people at them. At several, I can just call a friend and get home if
needed. But the 396 says the weather is just a few miles away and it looks
like if I really shove the throttle forward and point the nose down a bit I
might just make it. Now we are 170+ knots (160 hp ... slight downhill). I
think I can make it. I see the lights of the city. I see the outline of the
lake, I am "home". "Owens Field is 12 o'clock ...no observed traffic, radar
service terminated, frequency change approved". Sounds wonderful. I cross
mid-field to enter the pattern and land. Whew!! What a good feeling.
