From: "John Cox" Deems, you are the most deserving RV10 builder I know. Through all the mods, improvements, enhancements, redues and FAA certification hurdles you have shown the spunk, tenacity, courtesy, patience and builder skill set which is emblematic of a true EAAer. You constantly remind me why I became an EAA Tech Advisor and I/A. Not to take anything from those who wander nary one bolt or rivet from the original bone stock plans, you are my Inspiration!

And I have 127 color images of painted and flying RV-10s - WOW what a variety and development lineage to celebrate. Yes, Randy all white flying airframes awaiting color vinyl appliqu=E9 counts as painted but boy does color add Panache. As I load up my cooler to depart from the Left Coast for Sun N'Fun, I can't help but reflect on just one year ago when we all lost Hamilton Cartwright after his ill-fated attempt to get to SNF '08 through bad weather ENROUTE,. Deems... may every flight be a safe adventure and provide you it's just reward. To the rest of you, fly safe. Tomorrow holds the promise of many more RV-10s (1,000+) and a breathtaking flight line at OSH '09 and into the future. Deems, your DAR is to be thanked for providing a great Phase One OPS Area.

As for the therapy--when I return home from work and get to go to my garage and work on my plane--that's all the therapy I need. It may or may not ever fly in my time (atleast at the rate I'm going) but atleast there's the hope and dreams of one day actually putting air under all these parts I've been working on for the last few years and actually getting to call it a "plane". I realize that Mike was just fooling but in all seriousness there's times I think I should just sell the -10 and buy something that I can fly NOW. However, after a few minutes working on the project I remember how much fun that just getting to work on this project is. That's enough to put all those thoughts way behind me and make me wonder why I'd ever think about selling my baby. You won't regret it.
