| Subject: | RV-10 measurement flap to spinner dimension |
Would someone please provide me with the exact dimension from Van's Spinner (nose),
to flaps UP position (trailing edge) - plumb bob dimension will work. Am
trying to determine if the 10 is going to fit in my current hanger. Thanks much!

Just my 2 cents: I strongly encourage you to get the Grand Canyon chart far in
advance, and plan your flight to criss cross the canyon in the corridors provided.
I've been a couple of times, and by far the most enjoyable time was when I took
the chart and plotted out my own waypoints by measuring lat/lon directly on the
chart. I then put those in as user waypoints and had the autopilot fly the
course. I entered from the South, crossed once at one altitude, the autopilot
made the turn for me as I descended to come back the other way.
I had my wife and 4 kids in the plane that time, and it was WONDERFUL to know exactly
where I was at all times, be able to keep my head out of the plane 100%
of the time and participate in my family's enjoyment.
If you have the chart and arrive and hand fly the corridors you'll still enjoy
it, but it sure takes a load off to have a planned course and fly that plan.
Mark the points on your chart and use a straight-edge to find what the lat/lon
is from the graticule on the chart.
One other thing: We spent early morning in Sedona. Then saw the Grand Canyon.
Then hit Monument Valley. All doable in a day, but it's all so freaking spectacular
that your mind just goes numb and shuts down. Highly recommend you try
to enjoy each separately and get the most.
Have a safe flight!

| Subject: | Starship at Yuma |
We had a very rare treat here at Yuma Sat. Heard an unusual sound so I
walked around the corner on my hangar to see what was! A Starship came
taxing in on Z2 and parked on Millionair's ramp. Got a few pics and a mov as
it took off on 35. Very nice. I think it was out of Marana and I've heard
there are only 3 or 4 flying now.

Bob,
do you know, what amount of fuel is left when the warning comes on?
Many thanks

That all sounds right on the mark! Will spend all the 2 cents.
