What day were you out at Brennand?

The friend who went with me on the trip, Stan, went to Brennan. Those shots of his demo ride are his, just in my collection. I believe he went on Thursday...

Thanks! Can anybody who flew AN courses tell me if my assumption on this red/green device in this homebuilt is correct? See the picture caption....

I think it's the Fun Meter. Does it always go to the green side when the engine is turning?

I've got a bunch to edit, but this one pretty much sums up why I had a good OSH this year.

I didn't have a camera with me, but this thread contains some nice images of what I was around all week

that is a Cosim pellet variometer. Leah has one just like it in her glider. I wish i had one for my glider. That must've been the glider in the previous picture? was that at the fly market?

I like the plane landing on a moving van and the flat Vincent and I wonder what the crowded men ironing shirts thing is?

Great picture, Tim! I tried to put a little more focus into getting "people pictures" this year... there's a lot to see.

LOL, not shirts! That was the "Fabric covering 101" class / workshop, and we were covering a horizontal stabilizer.

Excellent, thank you!!!! It was in this BuzzBee 2, which I'm not certain is a glider... single place with an engine. TIGHT fit... we had to do some snooping around to figure out how you get INTO the thing.

Troy checking that N number, it is a motorglider. probably pretty lousy glide performance though with the short wing and lousy aspect ratio.

Interesting; I think the example at OSH might be the actual one pictured here:
