My RV 8 won't be quite finished for this year, but if you don't mind me flying to OSH in my RV9 (which will be for sale) I'll be there.

In the dozen or so years that we've been holding RV-8(A) builders' meetings at the Theater in the Woods, the general trend has been that we have a good showing for the first meeting -- usually on Monday or Tuesday morning -- and few, if any, for the second. I think people just get Oshkoshed out by Saturday. My concern about holding it in the afternoon is that people who want to go will get distracted and forget. It happens.

I looked over the forum schedule and didn't see anything that would be a major conflict at the 9:00 hour on Monday. Moreover, since the sun comes up and makes everyone get out of bed plenty early (when the weather's good), I see no reason to have any conflicts at all if we meet at 0800 or 0830. Is that too early for anyone?

Fernando,
I would like to welcome you to the RV8 meeting at Oshkosh!
I can bore you with my adventures in Santiago 15 years ago!
Ciao!

Finally - someone took charge and there is a proposal on the floor!

I'll vote for 0900 on Monday ....some of us are staying in Appleton, and might have traffic.....

A motion on the floor for 0900 Monday, 25 July. Is there a second?

I can make it at 0900 on Monday... *IF* they don't have the big entrance gate fiasco like they did last year on Monday (weather related) where they had all gates on the north side closed except for one, and it took waiting in line over 1.5 hours just to buy tickets and enter the place after I arrived at by car at 0800.

I probably should just fly the RV-8 in from Wautoma on Monday morning instead of driving the rental car... weather permitting of course.
