The Barriers Are Up!!
No matter WHEN they schedule SnF, there seems to be a weather barrier for everyone not already in Florida…. This is Monday morning - perhaps it will clear through? Yeah….we seem to say that every year, and sometimes is does…sometimes it doesn’t.
I am passing on SnF this year - first time I’ll have missed it for maybe a dozen years (except the year it wasn’t held). Kitplanes has a team on site, and will do just fine without me - and I’ve got a new and unusual airplane we’re getting ready for first flight and Phase 1.
So all of you that make it to Lakeland - have fun!
Paul

Not sure I'll make it down this year, probably wont....but bummer
one big thing I wanted to do if I end up making it, was to spend some time with their RV-12. Looks like they don't have one at their booth....

There should be about a dozen in HBC/HBP, just find somebody willing to do show-and-tell.

just that quick, I already have confirmation it's not in cards for me to make it this year. My wife just texted me about something I have to take my daughter to on Saturday.
I'm like
"....um...but...but....but ... sun...n..... oh never mind. Where do I need to go and what do AI need to bring?"

Please note: if you are departing before the afternoon airshow, the show starts at 1330 (1300 Thursdayy) sharp. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I strongly recommend you be buttoned up and ready to depart by 1300 to give yourself plenty of time to start, taxi, stop, wonder if you left something behind, accidently erase your ipad and reprogram it, tell the kids they should have gone before you started, etc..
Also, Taxiway Delta is NOT a runway! Yes, people have. Once right in front me and the FAA while we were trying to figure out ways to keep people from doing just that.

SnF
I am going to miss SnF this year as I have scheduled a trip to Korea, Viet Nam and Australia. Generally go for a day since I live about 3hours away. But will go to Oshkosh again this year.

Tapered composite wings on the RV-S6.
Y'all be sure to stop by and see the tapered composite wings on Bob Mills' Super RV-6. He is in one of the exhibitor tents, he assures me, since I was worried about it being parked out where hail might hit it.
