Brief Description:  Flight #48-53, 5B6-CZG-4G4-OXI-C77-RYV-OSH

Multi-leg flight to KOSH, EAA Airventure. Stopped overnight at C77 due to weather. Continued to RYV the next day and spent the night with Mike Smith and family at Oconomowoc, WI. Try saying that 3 times rapidly. Mike was also flying his Sonex to OSH from 6B6 in Stow, MA. Also in our Airventure trek was Keith Macht from KIDJ Windham, CT with his beautifully painted Sonex (see my 6/24/15 entry)

Aircraft weight: 940# with full fuel (10# below gross)
Cruise altitude: 4500'
Distance covered: 1159 sm
Flight time: 11 hours 53 minutes
Fuel burned: 51.1 gallons
Avg fuel flow: 4.29 gph

I ran a little richer than I normaly do to ensure against burning valves. Used my autopilot heading and altitude hold extensively and it made it a real pleasure to fly the long legs.

Attended the Sonex open house on 7/19/2015 and downloaded some of the pictures taken of my plane while there.
