Default Practice for OSH Arrival NOW, please!

In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
Thus, we just returned from an hour's flight devoted entirely to
simulating the FISK arrival procedure into OSH. The flight from Iowa
City to Muscatine takes about 25 minutes, at 90 knots and 1800 feet
MSL -- pretty similar to the trip from Ripon to OSH.


Another thing you might want to practice is flying the plane at those
speeds and with that amount of precision when it's fully loaded with a
week's camping gear. I was surprised how much different the Lance feels
when it's fully loaded rather than just me and the wife and a weekend's
hotel luggage.
