Campground is as full as I've seen it in six or seven years. I'm set up at the northeast corner of 20th and butternut. Feels like we're out in New Jersey :-)

For all who can make it tomorrow pm, look for the diamond banner behind my RV

Funny.
This was the first year since the early 2000's that I attended as an EAA member rather than as an exhibitor.
For the first time in I don't know how many OSH visits, I found myself wandering the ultralight area, thinking seriously about buying one of the weight-shift trikes.

I have sold DA42's to jet owners who want something simple, so how different would this be?

The show was great, the attendance was evidently robust, and it was good to meet up with so many new and old diamond friends during the week. I'm hopeful we'll be there with a great, big display next year.

Good luck with your RV10 - there were some really sharp examples on display at OSH.

Hi Yuri. Just curious . Why do you own a DA40 and build an RV-10?
