Do you flap to OSH?
 

On the 90 kt flight from Ripon to Oshkosh do you use a notch of flaps?

I like the additional airspeed stability and the little more over the nose visibility.

Yes, because I always seem to get behind someone going 75.

Same here!

I drop them just a little. It helps lower the nose and the 7 seems to not want to wallow around as much as if I leave them up.

Yes if I get behind a Kitfox or something really slow. Last year I bailed out on base for 36L. Just couldn't go that slow!

Sure, but only if we get behind something really slow. The -9 wing doesn't seem to care as much as your fat Hershey bar :).

I have to as I'm quite heavy and the nose is too high to be comfortable.

Normally, we have a relatively large tent, two sleeping bags, two air mattresses, two fully loaded back packs, a couple of pillows, towels, a crow foot tie down set, boards for under the wheels, two quarts of oil, tool box,
a spare P-mag, a six pack for just in case, and about 55 gallons of fuel, cause I'm too cheap to buy Basler fuel. (****) (cheap retired airline pilot)

You callin' me fat?

220, 221. Whatever it takes. ;-)

I do it when flying any model except for the RV-12 (I have flown one of everything except a 3 and 4 in to OSH at least once).
