Bob,
I'll plan on coming to the Nellis AFB show in my RV-10. Maybe I can hookup
with Russ passing over Lubbock.

At first I thought "great! more sky for us!" but in truth it's not a good
thing . . . less pilots means less support in the public for what we love to
do . . . and that means more regulation.

| Subject: | 2000 hour - progress report |
A minor milestone occurred today - I logged my 2000th hour on the
project. I remember asking the 'list' what the halfway point was when I
had about 1050 hours logged. The answer I got back didn't make me happy,
as it suggested that based on my progress, I was not yet at the halfway
point. That meant I had at least that many more hours and then some to
go. Well, I don't' know how many more 'to go' I've got and heaven
knows I'm NOT the world fastest builder, But...... I've got a new
appreciation for the 90% done and 90% to go saying. I had been judging
my progress based on my rate of completing the Van's plans sections and
then extrapolating to an ultimate completion date. Well I've pretty much
completed the Van's plans sections, BUT I've got TONS more to do. I've
got a Word doc with 3 1/2 pages of 'to-do's on it. I'm working those
off, the problem is that I've been working on them for 6-8 weeks and
while I've completed many of the items, the list grows at about the same
rate as the checked off items. ?!?!?
A word to the wise from someone who wishes he'd done differently: All
the 'little things' that look/appear to be minor, and you tell yourself
"Oh I'll get that at the end....." quickly (before you know it) add up
to the 'other 90%'. And guess what else???? The reason you didn't do
them at the time was because they weren't as much fun as building a new
part and seeing the plane get bigger. Well....... After the plane is
'bigger' the 'little things' are still here ...... and ....... they're
still not fun!!!!!!!

Hang in there Deems, you are getting close! After 10.6 hours and 68
landings logged, I can say this plane is worth it. It will be everything
you wanted and more. Now I just need to get home and git'r'done too. I
heard you were coming up to the dinner in a couple of weeks, make sure
to get Randy and others to give you a ride for motivation. This is when
you need it most to get you over the hump!

THX for the offer, unfortunately I did not get done with Mike till after
4, yeah, real unfortunate that I got to fly down the coast and land at
two small seaside airports. You guys have it rough up here with the
mountains, oceans and the most gorgeous scenery I have ever scene, and
that is saying allot because I grew up in Colorado, but it is a
different view here. I will wait to write up the trip until I get home,
but boy was it worth it.

Dan;
Becky and I will be out at the hangar between noon and 2pm. We always
welcome guests. The more visitors, the greater my chances of actually
taking til 2014 to finish the plane!! We have a hangar phone - feel
free to use it: 503-263-0052 (hangar 52).
