Wie gehts Hermann, Could you maybe talk a bit about that survival suit you're wearing out over the ocean? I was thinking--it must keep the cold water out, but I see its open by your ankles and your wrists. Are you wearing something that's water proof inside?

I liked all of the videos. Simply amazing!

Hermann, great videos. Interesting to watching them.
Hope to fly also next time in South Germany and meet you and the other RV-flyers.

Hermann -

I?ll be showing your Osh arrival to Home arrival video to my Aviation Safety class this morning... Wow, great job! I see one of my still pictures in the departing Osh for Madison breakfast segment.

Thank you!

The freedom of flight in our RVs!!!
Congratulations on your journey, hope to see you again at Osh 2020!

Carl

Don, you are right. it is a drysuit and with this one it?s important to have some kind of isolation between it and the body. I wore long underwear, a long sleeved pullover and over all this a fleece overall made by the same company. You can see this at the 4 min mark on the last video.
In fact the ankles are enclosed and you just slide in with your feet, that?s it. Then it should be avoided to walk with it as it could be damaged, I used simple oversized shoes. At the wrinkles there are neoprene seals and they are covered by the suit to protect them. The suit does have many pockets where I had a head cover, gloves, PLB, multitool and other stuff in it.

Carl, yes I used one of your pics. I couldn?t open the other bunch you sent so if you don?t mind sending some of them again that would be great. Best by e-mail.
Hope to make it to Oshkosh 2020, but if so with a commercial ticket.

Karsten - any time, you?re welcome.

Hermann,

Wow, that's simply amazing. Thanks for sharing. My only regret is that I didn't know you would be close to Boston - I would have rolled out the RV carpet for you.

Hermann, thank you so much.
You made my day, sitting in a hotel and waiting for the pickup, I enjoyed every second of the videos. It?s simply breathtaking what you have experienced.
It would be a lifetime experience for me and I guess it was for you too.
Wondering myself if/when to start building and which aircraft...this is so motivating.

Hi Hermann,

Wow, what a great trip, great video?s and great choice of music.
It is something I have contemplated, but I am not sure I have the balls.
After seeing this, the itch is starting again.
You mentioned you filled the wings with foam, could you elaborate on this. Type of foam, how you got it in there, temporary or permanent installation etc.
