My LNC2 has the small wheels.  What advice do you Oshkosh aficionados
have
for taxiing through the grass to the Lancair parking area?

Unless you arrive very early (before Tues I'd guess) you won't get to
taxi very far on the grass anyway... just far enough to get off the paved
taxi way and headed towards the parking area.  You are required to shut
down the engine at this point and PULL your aircraft to its resting
place.  Usually there are volunteers that will help after you inform them
just where on the airframe to push/pull.  This same procedure is used
when leaving and although it is easier to pull back on the stick and push
in the power, it is much safer and prevents prop blast 'sandblasting' the
other fine show airplanes.   Earl
