A lot has been talked about on this site lately about
RV-10 flight characteristics and how the short demo at
Van's is not quite enough. On a visit to Portland last
spring I helped Randy prep 610RV for paint. Last month
he was kind enough to return the favor. Randy, our
wives and I took his new airplane and flew west to the
Oregon coast, north along the coast line sight seeing,
then back.
This was a great "demo" of the RV-10, Four adults and
full fuel. The cross country portion was just your
basic climb out, level off followed by an en route
descent to the coast. 110KTS IAS on climb out gave us
1000' FPM. Very comfortable and only a small amount of
rudder was needed during climb or descent.
When we returned to the Aurora area Randy invited me
to "get the feel" by doing some more aggressive
flying. I did some chandelles and some steep turns
both directions. The controls are very well balanced
with only a very small amount of adverse aileron yaw
in a 60 degree bank. The plane was very predictable
and responsive with no surprises.
My wife loved the flight and is even more supportive
of the project now. It was great to do some "real
life" flying in the RV-10, thanks Randy!

I just got a Randy ride in 610RV, yesterday as a matter of fact, not quite
as far as you, but far enough to have gotten more than I did with the
company plane. What impressed me was that a "quick built" customer plane
(quick meaning 20 months) was so fine a flying platform with such great
control, and it was only the fourth one flying! Steve, you must have been
the reason for Randy's wife (riding in the back seat) to beg that we not do
any lazy eights or chandelles when I mentioned them! After disembarking I
quite seriously said to myself, as I went back to work on the rudder, that
I'm going all the way and buy the QB everything just to get in the air
faster, it felt that good. We'll know more about how it handles in the
bumps after Randy and others make their way to Osh and back, but I have a
feeling the news will be good.
John Jessen, #40328. Rudder.
(Gosh, I love back riveting.)

I just got my shirts back that my wife and I will be wearing to OSH.
We took the paint scheme and had an embroidery pattern made up and
just got our box full of shirts back today.
So, when you're looking for us, you'll be able to recognize us.
Here's a couple of photos...there are more shirts than are in
the photos though.

I'll stick this on my OSH RV-10 page soon, but Gary called me today
and he's on-field at OSH right now. He's the place where we'll be
able to meet at every day for post-show activities.
He says he's by Lindbergh and 52nd, actually between 52nd and 53rd.
He's the 2nd motorhome from the end of the row, with a big
Dolphinfish on the side, and a Georgia flag outside.
So, when you're nearing the end of the day, head over that way for
some fun.
He's got a spot reserved right next to him for Jesse Saint's
family's motorhome, so hopefully they'll be right there too.
Can't wait to meet you all. If you're on the OSH list, look
for Gary Specketers phone number if you need to get a hold of
him.
We'll also meet daily at 10:30 at Van's. Unless things change,
my first show day will be Tuesday.
I'll also be spending a bit of time showing my panel at SteinAir's
booth. It's hanger B booth 2030. Too many minor things didn't
make it in time to do a complete job, but the fun stuff is at
least wired for power for some demos.
See you there!
Tim
