From: "raddatz" Let me ask this question, If I buy the kit, engine, panel and everything else that goes into finishing an aircraft with my money and name on everything and when its all done I put it up for sale, how does that differ from anyone else selling their aircraft. I have contacted the FAA and explained my process and they said I'm within the guide lines. Now as far as meaningful post goes if I see something wrong or a question on either here or VAF that does not get an answer or the answer is wrong I email them the correct way and also give them my number. I really try not to compete with other poster's on the site's. Each site has their main poster's and I'm trying not to be one of them because they get a bad rap as a self proclaimed know it all. Yes, its true that I have built many planes and I have used every EFIS screen avaible and five different well known engine shops, three interior shops, four paint shops. With that being said I do what works and is the best bang for your buck, also which companies to stay away from, who delivers what they promise when they promise it. But each person has their own ideas and tastes and I respect that so I try and leave my comments to myself. If anyone has a question about anything with their aircraft feel free to call me 256-443-1915.

Tim, Yes, I pulled a few all nighters. Where are you going in Florida? Mary is down there right now working on our house remodel project. If you are in the New Smyrna Beach area (between Daytona and the Cape) give her a call. 651-428-5358. New Smyrna has a nice airport with a great airport restaurant. Sure wish I was heading down there today! David On Nov 22, 2008, at 9:37 PM, Tim Olson wrote: That's awesome, you must have been working pretty hard this week! Glad things are going well!

Ok, seeing how you and the FAA feel everything is just hunky dory with your venture (even though for some reason they are trying to redefine the rule rather than enforce it for once) exactly how many aircraft have you built in say the last 5 years? How long did it take you to finish the last one? How long will it take you to finish the current one? Somehow I have a feeling these answers will give clarity to whether you are doing it for your own recreation and education and put any assumed perceptions to rest. I think quantity over time, along with intent, is generally the deciding factor on if you are different from anyone else. -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of raddatz Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 8:10 AM Subject: RV10-List: Re: How many kits sold thus far?

In the past we have stitched together the 3 JNC charts (scale 1:2,000,000) and they work well but it's a little bit of work to make it look nice. Does anyone know of a 1 piece wall chart at least that same scale or even slightly larger? The VFR/IFR Planning charts are much smaller (scale 1:3,400,000) and not what we want. Many FBO's have large wall charts but maybe they are all stitched together JNC's for all I know.
