I expect to be there 3 days with my son, and my wife may come one day. Not sure which days yet, but I only live an hour south so I just watch the weather. I assume Wednesday and Saturday are the night show days?

LES, you are the pro on videos.  I hope someone videos you at the demo so they can post it on our web site here.

Those of us who can't make it this year will be watching for yous two on the EAA Ultralight Barn Web Cam (http://www.eaglersnest.com/forum/index.php) on the Eagler's nest home page...

Have fun and send us some pics!

BTW:  You can easily see Leonard's Oshkosh ride DC3 parked where it always is, South of the Barn...

I don't think I'll make it this year.  But, if anybody would like to stop by to see my mostly complete, naked DE wing you' re welcome.  I live about 3 hours Southwest  of Oshkosh, between Madison and Dubuque, Iowa. Plenty of room here for camping too. Shoot me a message, and I can give you directions.
