Is anybody going to the fly-in this Saturday? I've got my plane  

ready, and maybe I need somebody to tell me I'm nuts to go. Barring  

that, weather willing, creek doesn't rise, I'm gonna give it a shot.  

I've got about 15 takeoffs and landings since I installed the skis,  

and all is well landing on mostly grass with about 3 inches of snow  

around here. Biggest detriment that I can see so far is the weather.

Any tips out there for a beginning (by air) Oshkosher?

I just finished installing a redundant set of safety cables/shock  

cords, and feel like I can just about slice through anything. : )

When parking in un-packed snow it is sometimes a good idea to taxi the plane

in a circle and stop in your own tracks the second time around.   Helps to

keep the skis from sticking to the snow.  



An old bush pilot told me that one...  



He also said when it really got cold he would drain the oil and bring it

inside and also bring in the battery.  Oh yes.. And in very cold weather lay

some boughs on the ground and run the plane up on them also helps to keep

the skis from sticking to the snow.



Have fun!!

Go wide around Chicago....Plan fuel stops well...you'll need the snow



   I've done Oshkosh a few times from New Hudson Mi in the Fall  Long trip, (85 MPH)  and you need to know where you are at when rounding the lake and heading east. I always went past Mode C airspace before starting North, but that was an equipment  issue. more relaxing though This was before common GPS

I just got the VFR Terminal Area chart, and it shows the popular  

route along the lake, which looks doable to me...a little up and down  

here and there to stay out of "B" space, but seems doable. Of course  

the chart doesn't show all those planes zooming by either. : )

I've done the Oshkosh drive 6 or 7 times, and it's gonna be fun  

(weather permitting) to look down and see those damned orange cones  

from another view.

I'm planning to mark the chart, but keep an eye on the GPS as  

well...or vice versa, probably.

With 26 gallons aboard, and less than 4 gph, I *shouldn't* have to  

stop for fuel, but certainly will for nature calls, and will refuel  

then, I'll mark the best-looking spots on the chart.

Thanks, Steve.

Thanks Noel...sounds like some of the stories I read last year about  

the Alaskan bush pilots.

NOW I know what to do with my still-to-be-taken-down Christmas tree!

I understand that tossing the boughs out can give you a better  

perspective on landing.

Re sticking to the snow....I've got wheel-penetration skis, so with  

packed snow, this shouldn't be an issue, should it? Also the  

polyurethane "feet" should help that situation, I would think...we  

shall see...

I used to carry two short pieces of 2X4 and would lift up the skis and put 

them under the skis to keep them from freezing down.

from my snowmobile days, we did have problems with ski's sticking in the snow, then came the plastic ski's, wow now we were spoiled pups, slide and no stick in the snow, no build up of snow on the ski's either.  hope this helps.

I spoke with O'kosh today, and the wind was blowing the snow around,  

but they are still a go for tomorrow, as am I.

Yeah, thank God for plastic...I'm a "newbie" on skis, and I'm already  

spoiled.

Lynn, ---------------------   Good luck on your trip. ----------------

I love Ski fly ins.



Also if you do not have a  metal runner on bottom of ski you will not get 

much sticking.

One thing I would suggest is to lift up each ski and put a stick under each 

ski to be sure.

One thing i Usually do prior to getting in the plane is grab the strut and 

move  the plane back and forth a bit to ensure you not stuck.  Or grab  the 

tail handle and move it side to side and watch each ski to make sure they 

loose.



Also if landing in deep snow make sure you land and don't stop until you go 

in a loop an d come back to  the tracks you just made if possbile.   If not 

you might be looking at tramping down a path to get back out.



Another thing is make sure you not in slush, once you bog down in it you 

will have trouble getting moving again. Even though there is 2 feet of ice 

but yet 12 inches of slush  will be a mess to get out of.  And since you on 

wheel skis  always be ready for a frozen wheel on landing.



Take some sunglasses and different colours if you have them as it hard to 

see the surface  on gray days.



And don;'t forget to take some pics  to remind us what a great time it was.



Fly safe !



Dave

Thanks, Dave...pictures coming right up...stills that is.

The trip hasn't even started yet and I already caught two typos in  

the landing procedures that were emailed to me from EAA...not a big  

deal, just saying on one hand that you're heading for downwind, and  

on the other hand that you're heading for final...like I say,  just a  

small matter. : )  Oh, yeah, another small matter was the reference  

to the Red Barn as a landmark just north of the field....don't look  

for it, I was told, as they demolished it two weeks ago....ho hum.



They are expecting maybe 100 planes, and when I called today, with  

about 2 hours left in their day, they gave me registration number 53,  

so there may not be as many as they think. With 53-100 planes packing  

the snow, I gotta think that it'll be bumpy and skatey.

I'm planning to leave there later in the day and heading back the  

northern route, and staying someplace in Upper Michigan for the  

night, then maybe heading to the Bush Planes Museum in Sault Ste.  

Marie, Ontario....maybe. I'm taking my birth certificate in case I do  

that. I'd land stateside, and take ground transportation into Canada,  

eh? : )

Bon Voyage Lynn.  I didn't catch when you were leaving and returning,

but on the way home if you need a place to stay for the night I'm

about 30 air minutes south of Alpena MI.  I'm downstate right now and

won't be home until Monday.  Let me know.

You might be in trouble flying into Canada.  I think you have to have a passport when flying.  I think that includes our little ones.

Overnight accomodations also available here Lynn. No landing strip on site, but pick-up & delivery assured from Evart (9C8) 5 miles away.

Yep, bon voyage, Lynn! I went flying today. A bit of snow here but it 

will rain tomorrow. I can't be bothered to put my skis on ...yet. 

Winter Norway is no longer what it used to be!

You are right you might have trouble --- but the trouble will be in getting

back into the USA, as American Customs requires that you have a passport to

enter regardless whether you are an alien or US citizen.

Thanks, Michel...I flew all the way over there for a good snow  

landing and could have done almost without the skis...but the trip  

was what it was all about, and seeing some other examples of skis.  

But with only 4 planes there when I got there, there wasn't much to  

choose from. : ) And thanks for the pictures of your skis, as they  

helped me to build mine.

 Yep, bon voyage, Lynn! I went flying today. A bit of snow here but  

 it will rain tomorrow. I can't be bothered to put my skis  

 on ...yet. Winter Norway is no longer what it used to be!
