Thanks Dave. I definitely will. )CFIDave wrote:I've flown multiple times into Oshkosh in DA40 XLSs, and parked on the grass for a week -- no damage to the wheel pants.
One bit of of advice: stop by your favorite hardware store to purchase 2 small pieces of plywood to place under your wheels when parked on the grass. This will make it much easier to get your plane out of the inevitable holes created by your plane's main gear sinking into the ground, especially if it rains. Otherwise you may need some additional people to help push when it's time to depart.
P.S.: Planning to fly our DA62 to KOSH again this year. I'll be working the Diamond exhibit again, so stop by and say hi.
