We flew into the Arlingtion Flyin (used to be NW EAA flyin) Tuesday morning under low ceilings.
By the end of the day on Tuesday, we were the only RV in the RV parking area. Today, at the end of the day (official opening day), only one other RV-4 had made it in to join us (local fastback RV-4 for sale). The irony is that RV parking has moved to a new bigger area because they were overflowing the old area in the past years.
Weather is supposed to be improving for later in the week. It hasn't been that bad on the ground, just overcast and occasional light showers.
What has been great is access to the vendors. With such a light turnout, the normally crowded areas are gone. We spent an hour talking to the Dynon guys and then another hour talking to Gary at Aerotronics. Gary gave us lots of valuable tips on wiring and we got to see him unpack and turn on the AFS 4500 he had just received from Rod. The synthetic vision really looked good.
Outdoor movie tonight is the animated cartoon "Fly me to the moon".
The Aveo strobe/nav light combo seemed really bright. They said they were going to have a strobe/nav/landing light combo at Oshosh that would fit in the RV wingtip cutout area.
