Perhaps I've missed it ... but does anyone know of any "rotary presence"
at Oshkosh this year? I plan if spending 2 or 3 days there during first
part of week.

A lot of people are not happy with EAA and OSH. I for one.

Sorry to barge in the conversation,
Paul, would you care to explain your comment?
As a wannabe airplane homebuilder I recently joined the EAA,
all I see is advertisement for crafts way over $100k,
and a focus that seems off the homebuilt experimental spirit.

They are not experimental any more. A pre drilled quick build kit with
a certified AC engine is hardly
challenging to put together. It just becomes a way to get around the
certified air craft rules.

The grass roots movement left long ago... not even called EAA or Sport
Aviation as it once was. AirVennture..?? Mention auto conversion... Few
are even near the experimental line. I live near Oshkosh.. most that ask
of it, want to know.. What band is playing this year..!!?? 10 bucks for a
sandwich and a Coke. (that was a good many years ago..) No clue what it is
to even get in.. as a member. It's a dog and pony show. Still great
people in the movement, as are there some local chapters. I'm 20 min. away.
Won't be there this year either.
