Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: Flight to Osh

Hi Gary,
Am back now. Started flight back yesterday morning in a yellow Revo. Roughly 550 miles each day.
REPORT
1) Oshkosh got a lot of rain prior to opening so airplane parking was a problem and so was camping or keeping turf runways solid (trust me I landed in one coming in)
2) Weather during the show besides the first day (which had large wind gusts) was pretty nice
3) UL area had 42 vendors compared to 9 last year. More foot traffic too
4) My partner Larry got the Eagle trophy for doing something (I don't know) but has to return it to Oshkosh next year
5) My flight there in our trike was uneventful and flight back was uneventful till 30 miles from home airport and then T-Storms showed up trying to surround me inside a circle
6) Lots of serious leads and decent direct sales

Abid
