    Nice to see you guys doing a Midwest event. With the EAA having a home-built mentality and over 500,000 visitors, it should be a great event for you.
    I plan on stopping by to say hi.

    I have been to the EAA a couple of times in the 1980's and highly recommend it. You can see everything from an ultralight to the worlds largest military planes (and everything in between). It was said at the time that 10% of the worlds aircraft was there during the show - although not all at one time as planes fly in and fly out every day.

    Thanks John

    Wow - talk about a great cross-marketing idea... homebuilt planes and homebuilt cars. I typically try to make at least a day-trip to Oshkosh every year and will definitely put it on the calendar for this year.
    Later,

    Dave, I plan on heading up like we had talked about at London. How do we get in? It's a BIG venue with multiple entrances and tight security.

    Sten,

    I will be there for most of the week but won't have my car there. I'm sure we'll be able to get together at some point.

    I still need to know how to get in. I worked the show for several years and know that you just can't "drop in".

    Chris, I first found out about Factory Five from their ad on the back cover of Sport Aviation Magazine! Perfect fit!

    Same here. I was going to build an RV-7 airplane, the wife thought that a FFR roadster would be a better option. That was 12 years ago, 30,000+ miles ago. I have since sold my FFR and bought a flying RV-7.

    Bud, those RV's are all so sweet! Some of the parts fit so well it's almost you just have to shake up a box of parts and a complete assembly falls out! Hope to check out yours! You'll be in the RV area? Garry, I'm sure we'll be spending some time , I'll be there Friday through Sunday.
