Does anyone know how many attendees are actually builders, as its not the
general public that buys our wares.

Can't vouch for the number of builders as a percentage of the attendees, but
a good pecentage of those building or planning to build come to Oshkosh I
would suspect.

Of course, there are several posters here who are exhibiters who can probalby
give a better critique from the other side of the table.


Also, I have heard that they will let anyone into the halls to be vendors,
ie hot tub salesmen, and stay-sharp forever knives, etc. Is there a
technical/aircraft builder-only hall, or is it all mixed up?

Unfortunately, not. Not only is it not segregated, some of the non-aviation
crap shows up in multiple locations throughout the exhibit area.
