Oshkosh Housing ... Hell Of a Deal

and I have a mid-day forum and will be going back to Waupaca in the late
afternoon.

Hey -- don't forget Wednesday after the air show will be the 5th
Annual Rec.Aviation H.O.P.S. Party at our campsite!

If you're not there, we'll all talk about ya like a dog...

We're waiting for the official "Post from the Host"
(...sometime next week, I suspect)

Until that time, I can say that H.O.P.S. stands for:
rec.aviation: Homebuilt Owning Piloting Student


Montblack
Let's go to the H.O.P.S.
Let's go to the H.O.P.S.... (oh baby)
Let's go to the H.O.P.S.... (oh baby)
Let's go to the H.O.P.S.
Come on, let's go to the H.O.P.S.

Bah-bah-bah-bah, Bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah, Bah-bah-bah-bah, @ the H.O.P.S.!

And if that doesn't whet your appetite, you could us I.H.O.P.S... Rec. IFR,
Homebuilt, Owning, Piloting, Student... but I think IHOPS is already
taken...

mmm hungry now.

We were gonna leave Wednesday right after the forum, but when Jim Burns came
through with the wheels and Montblack came through with the hangar, how
could we leave friends like that without a party.

I know, I know...anybody can follow another airplane. Though that
blue-on-blue paint scheme does tend to blend into the sky rather well.

Don't forget Jay, we'll toast his chair...again!
And I don't get honorable mention as wingman? Sure, I see how it is :-)

After 33 years in the hot sweaty UW-O dorms, Gail and I decided to venture
far afield to see what was available in the area.

One of our brethren in this ng emailed me about a very nice Bed'n'Breakfast
he found in Waupaca. I checked it out and it seemed like a hell of a deal.
$100 a night for two, $110 a night for four. Two separate bedrooms, one
kitchen, one living room, one bathroom. Separate quiet cottage environment.

One of the other brethren (Jim Burns, God bless you) offered the use of his
second vehicle for transportation between Waupaca and Wittman Field
(Oshkosh). The Waupaca airport has abundant tiedowns and overflow if you
bring your own tiedowns. No sweating the gaggle arrival to Oshkosh.

That means that we have an extra bedroom (twin beds) with breakfast and a
really pretty setting (www.greenfountaininn.com) in Waupaca.

Air conditioned. Country breakfast. Transportation to and from OSH. $40 a
night for two people Sunday - Wednesday. $160 for four nights. Cash in
advance. No refunds.

Schedule ... we depart Iowa City after Jay and Mary's Saturday night bash
and get to Waupaca on Sunday about noon. I have to go get my Kitplanes
credentials and the auto parking pass on Sunday afternoon.

Monday we get to the field somewhere around 8 or 9 (negotiable). Gail and I
have a morning forum. I've got a club dinner on Monday night but can stop
back by the field around 9 pm or so to get you back to Waupaca.

Tuesday we have nothing really going on, so schedule is negotiable. We
might be going up to the cheese factory north of Oshkosh, and you are most
welcome to come along. Otherwise, we can drop you off at OSH and pick you
up on the way home.

Wednesday we get to the field somewhere around 8 or 9 (negotiable). Gail
and I have a mid-day forum and will be going back to Waupaca in the late
afternoon.

Thursday we depart Waupaca early morning in the blueonblue Cessna and will
make any arrangements you want thereafter.

First come, first served ...

Wednesday

Totally off topic...a friend who was "hanging up" the flying business
(he is 90!) gave me (I helped take down his Ham radio tower...he and
his wife are moving to a condo) for not a lot of money RST's marker
beacon kit.

First kit of RST's I've built. Worked first time, and it is well
engineered. Instructions are well done etc.

I am a pretty advanced builder. lots of heathkits, some homemade amps
up to 70cm...but it is an easy build for a novice.

Well Done

My Aircoupe came with the RST marker beacon kit built and installed by
the previous owner, an instrument-rated electrical engineer. I'm a
VFR guy so don't use it, but every so often will flip it on for a few
seconds to warm the circuits. Still lights up at maybe 10 years old.
One time on a BFR we flew an instrument approach at a local airport
and it still worked. Nice little item.

Ordered jacks for my panel mount RST intercom kit awhile back...

I'm looking for a Bendix T12D ADF schematic, for a friend (sent him the
pinouts, but he needs more info for troubleshooting an issue with it)
from this wonderful site: http://www.aeroelectric.com/Installation_Data

And the wiring pinouts for the TKM MB75 Marker Beacon Receiver or a
schematic diagram, for myself...

Thanks...
