    So I'm coming to Osh this year. I'd really like to meet the people behind the names and handles on this site. Any instructions as to where you guys hang out would be good.

    This is the location of our camp, where the party will be on Thursday afternoon.

    The Mangy will be parked on the Ultralight field, my cell number is allways on the prop tag. Feel free to call.

    Thanks. I've seen photos of your Mangy - and it'll be good to see the real thing and meet you and other members.

    Does the ultralight strip ever get too full of planes, to where they would be turned away and have to land on the big runway?

    Parking can be a challenge sometimes, but the stated rule is: No one who flies into the Ultralight Field will be turned away. We will find a place to park you.

    We now have a little tug to help move LSA airplanes around because powered taxiing is not allowed.

    At all? Or just crossing roads and walkways? It was craazy watching all the Valdez STOL guys shutting down, jumping out, pushing a few feet over the service road then jumping back in, firing up and taxing to their tie down 30' away over past couple of years. Could hear the grumbling over the engine noise from quite a distance, lol.

    At all. That's the way it has always been.

    There is so much flying activity and so much pedestrian activity in the area, powered taxiing has never been allowed. Since planes are getting heavier (LSA more than 103 Ultralights) the addition of the tug last year was greatly welcomed for moving panes up and down the hill by the barn.
