Anyone going to Airventure next week? Looking at a Murphy and would really like to see one up close.

Is there a group gathering like PAS had in the past? When will you be at the homebuilt pavillion?

OK, Was at OSH and went to the Murphy booth - looks like they had a radical there (flying I think) a try Gear Moose without wings and a try-gear Rebel with a Rotax 912is on it. I Spoke for a while with a couple of factory folks, the sales person and the main engineer who is working on the Rotax/Rebel and brining the Rebel back into production (of note, the Rebel in the booth was a split aileron/flap wing, not a flatiron wing.
We talked about lack of responsiveness, and lack of communication by the factory. They said they were working on it and the new Chinese owners had given them a lot of backing and leeway to allow them to do the right thing.
Lets hope that things get better - I loved the Rotax Ring mount availability, if that had been there two years ago, my airplane would have a 915 Is (turbo) engine on it, and not the Titan, less HP up to about 5,000', then the Rotax would walk away from the Titan, and lighter to boot.
I am rooting for the factory to do well and giving them the benefit of the doubt for the first year or so.
