Attending AirVenture for the First Time as a Aircraft Model Vendor: Modelworks

[hytek02]

I am planning my first trip to AirVenture Oshkosh and will be one of the 900+ vendors. This will be my first time attending as a vendor and want to get more details regarding the logistics of setting up and accommodations. My company fabricates custom fabricated models and build replica models from customer photos. Now lets get to the questions.

• Has anybody who was a vendor also drove in and utilized the campgrounds?
• If I am transporting merchandise in a van or trailer, what is the best logistical move.
• I am coming I from California and Japan
• Should I just ship my merchandise to a nearby fedex or ups?
• Most of our models are 12 inch to 18 inches in size. However, we do have larger modes like this!
• It cost more than $4000 US to attend this events as vendor. That does not include your travel, gas and sleeping accommodations.
• Any cost saving suggestions would be appreciated.
• Are there any custom model aircraft that people are looking for?
• I plan to bring mostly smaller aircraft. Are there any small aircraft that are in demand?
• We will bring several LARGE AIRCRAFT like the modes below.
