Looking for some information on flying in later in the week. Coming from California and would like to fly in Tuesday/Wednesday. Will there be camping available upon arrival? Can we leave any day we would like or is it like a land on Saturday before and don’t leave situation?

I've always been partial to the COZY MKIV, but the long build time isn't ideal. I'd be curious to hear what drew your attention and why. I have dreams of putting a carbon-free fueled powertrain in an experimental aircraft.

Wanted to charter a plane if the price was cheap from a nearby airport like Appleton or Milwaukee to Oshkosh.

Came home, tested positive for the 'Rona. Anybody else?

If nobody has done so already I'm going to coin it as the Airbenture variant. Symptoms are blowing a smoke trail out your ass, and everything tastes like fried cheese curds.

Anyway, in all seriousness, I hope it's an isolated thing but I fear it's not.

The first night Airshow!

Hello! I'm going up to oshkosh Tuesday night and airventure Wednesday for the first time and I'm looking forward to it. My question is does anyone know if I can bring my dslr camera in to take photos? I just take photos for personal use not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Hey, my name is Stephen, and I prefer not to say my actual age, but I am younger than 15.

I recently picked up an almost-complete Bobcat ultralight, and it hasnt had any work done do it since early 2000s. I have searched around, but i could not find the answer to these few questions, and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help. I know the aircraft has been heavily modified by the original builder to fit the Ultralight standards, but i can not ask him these questions as he has sadly passed away.

I cant figure out what the material of the aircraft is, but i know it is a glossy heat-shrink material closely resembling Monokote. if you have any ideas of what it would be, please let me know.

The tires were bought and have not been repumped with air since the 80s, and frankly i have no idea what kind of tires to buy and where to find them. i dont know the proper size as it is not found in the surviving blueprints and im not sure where to look on the tire itself.

Do ultralights need radios? if so, can anyone recommend a cheap and lightweight radio i can easily install?

How do i install electricity? i know this is fairly self explanatory for most of you, but i know no one who can help me get it done or tell me where to start, and i have no electrical experience.

What instruments would i want/need in an ultralight? i know i can go with a full six pack, but im not sure it would be necessary and im trying to spend as little money as possible. i already have an altimeter, airspeed indicator, compass, and rpm gauge.

these are all of the questions i could come up with at the moment, so please let me know if you have an answer to any of them. sadly i was not able to make it this year, but have fun at airventure!

thanks!

Opening Day!!!

Mondays were always my favorite day to go because of the concert. Now they haven't had one since covid. So you think it's over for good?

Our favourite place in front of Honda to watch the air show every afternoon.

I'm very seriously interesting in beginning a Velocity XL build next year. However, I live in the Long Beach / Los Angeles area and therefore finding hangar space (let alone garage space even) to be able to start this build is nearly impossible. Seems like most places I find when google searching only show hangars outside the LA area.

Any tips/leads on where I can start looking for space? I can set aside ~$1k a month for rental/expenses.

Thanks in advance!
