Someone like Barrett or Aerosport will be able to build you an engine for less than a new one from Lycoming, but if you're looking for "factory new", there are no other options than Lycoming or one...

While I disagree with Aviatrexx's post, your response is pretty harsh.
Funny. Lots of things get on my nerves (see:airshow announcers), but the helicopters don't even register for me and I've spent 25ish years in HBC. Go figure.
I'd enjoy even a "day of the sailplane".
I think airshow announcers are geared for the airshow at your local metropolitan field where the audience is a group of non-aviation people looking to be entertained on a Saturday or Sunday...
Thank you!
Who said they don't want to make things easier? I see reasoned responses explaining why it is hard/not financially responsible/and maybe impractical to make certain changes.
Benches are nice, but...
That's the gross income of the entire region from the event. It goes to everyone from EAA to little mom and pop motels in Appleton, and everywhere in between. And then you have to subtract the...
Did I see an announcement recently from EAA which said the township has voted against the new UL strip?
As I've posted elsewhere, EAA needs to rethink traffic on Thursday mornings, which have been the chaotic departure date for years. EAA probably needs to have a 3 hour window (7-10?) where they don't...
Not a lot. Airboat engines often use parts that didn't pass QC checks. For instance, undersized bearing journals, rusted inner crank bore, excessive runout, things like that. Have you scoured...
I'll ask the obvious...
How do y'all get to these off-site locations? Uber?
I put two of the little chairs Todd linked in my small backpack and schlep them around as necessary.
Why not just a Google (free, web based) spreadsheet?
I've never seen anyone ask on Saturday, and a couple of the gates are unstaffed on Saturday - the one that leads from the NW side of the field to Target and other shopping isn't/wasn't staffed at all...
Isn't the field is open to all on Saturday? I was thinking Sunday is when they turn on the gate security.
My experience on returns has always been excellent. ACS ain't perfect, but it has served me well for almost 3 decades.
Latest news is EAA is planning to disassemble it and truck it back to Oshkosh. I'm guessing they found a lot more problems than they initially suspected. Pulling a B-17 apart, shipping it 1,000...
Dave, what time of year do you head back North?
People with extensive experience with VW engines will tell you that 65 HP or thereabouts is about the maximum sustained power setting for the engine unless you want to overheat and cook it relatively...
The law of averages says the typical storm at Osh is out of the West. That's my experience over almost 30 years of attending the show. I think we should park aircraft to avoid the most likely...
To lift an idea from "The Hunger Games", I think the odds would always be in our favor parked into the wind.
1) In general, aircraft would be facing the prevailing winds and control surfaces would...
I mentioned one morning (Thursday) which is a big departure morning. I didn't suggest morning flights be banned, what I did suggest is to discourage out and back flights at peak arrival and...
The Good:
- The overall convention/show. Incredible as always.
- The volunteers. Great people - all of them.
- Walking by a tram on the North/South line and hearing a guy telling cornball...
On the EAA website there is a guest services page which contains most of the info for shipping items to the show as an attendee, not a vendor. According to EAA’s website, the items would go to a GES...
