It will be done on Tuesday. Which Tuesday is still the question. Goes along with how fast will it go, how high will it fly and how much will it cost? Boone has the annual rv fly next month. Saturday June 19th -----Original Message----- From: Tim Olson Sent: Tue, May 25, 2010 11:05 pm Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: step drills etc :) Yes, I'm lucky, but trust me, every time I tell someone how it was fun for "me to build an RV-10", she constantly reminds me that the only reason I was able to do it was because she picked up a lot of the loose ends around the house. ;) I appreciate the heck out of her though. I'm very lucky we had the same goals. Like the others said, enjoy it and make the build the way YOU want it. Some want a relaxing building hobby...that's awesome. Some see building as the journey to the reward at the end of the rainbow, and they want to get there quick. Each person can approach it with the level of "push" that they want. The part that gets tough is when you want it done soon, but you don't want to dig in. I spent countless nights laying awake just honestly praying for spirit of dedication to the task, to enable me to make it though the project at a rate that would satisfy the burning want to get it done before I got too impatient to appreciate the time spent. It's a very tough mental exercise to take on such a project if you're impatient for the end result, as I was, because you constantly have to see the light at the end of the tunnel lest you let it break your spirit if you become discouraged. It's one of the reasons I usually recommend saving enough money ahead of time to finish the kit before your money pile runs out....because if someone is really driven for that end result, it IS possible to build the entire plane in such a short timeline that you can easily get to the major spending sections before you have the money saved. You start on the tail, and the next thing you know you're buying your panel. For some people, patience comes easy....for others (me), it was a learned thing on this project. Thankfully there are numerous "I finished" experiences throughout the process, as each section is completed.

I'm considering July 17 and 18, 2010, but at this point I have some flexibility for later dates as well. If anyone is interested in having their cabin top fitted to their fuselage during the class, free of charge, please let me know ASAP. You'll get enough from the class to be able to dive in to all the composites on the -10. Others who've taken the course say it's very worthwhile. And, once you're done with the class, you'll have as much telephone support as you need once you start getting sticky (we tell you how to minimize that, too!). Time and weather permitting, I'll do my best to give anyone interested a ride in my RV-10. Here's the description: ************************************* This course will provide an overview of the composite parts and techniques used on Van's Aircraft RV-10 kits. We will focus on correct materials and processes, fitting the composite top and doors, cowl, spinner, fairings, and other composite parts. You will receive hands-on training to identify and use all necessary materials. Examples of completed and in-process assemblies will be available to view. *Who:* Harold Bunyi and Dave Saylor. Harold holds a BS in Aeronautical Engineering and built kitplane parts in the Phillipines for many years. He has worked at AirCrafters for 6 years and spends nearly all his time working with composites. I started working with composite kitplanes in 1998. I am an A&P/IA, and I have finished the composite sections of my personal RV-10 project, along with many other composite and aluminum projects. I received my BS in Aeronautics from San Jose State. *When:* Tentatively July 17 & 18 (Saturday & Sunday) 8AM-4PM Saturday 8AM-3PM Sunday *Where:* AirCrafters Watsonville Airport (KWVI) 140 Aviation Way Watsonville, CA 95076 831-722-9141 www.AirCrafters.aero Class size is limited to 15 builders $350 payable by cash, check or credit card *Please call or email to register, even if you have emailed, expressing interst in the last few days. 50% deposit is required before July 2nd.*Balance due before class starts. The nearest major airport is San Jose International, a one-hour drive to KWVI. Best lodging is the Watsonville Comfort Inn: 831-728-2300. Ask for the Pilot Discount. Aircraft parking is available at the class site. Please call if we can help with logistics.
