It was actually a full article and everything but they basically chopped out all the text and did photos and captions only. I wasn't too happy, because my original intention was to try to show what can be done with GA, homebuilt aircraft. But they felt it still did that. It got pushed back many months, so perhaps space is precious in the magazine. Anyway, it's been an incredible experience to be able to utilize a homebuilt airplane the way we have and I hope that many (actually all) of you get just as much fun out of yours. With the RV-14 coming along, I'm looking forward to being able to take a few formation trips with people like my parents, who've never really been able to experience a long X/C flight like that. I think some day if Van's designed a 6-seater, it could potentially be a hot seller.

If I can find another magazine that is interested in it, I'll submit it there. After the 1st I'll see if anyone is interested. If not, then of course, I'll post it.

That is too bad for all of us and all of GA for not seeing the full article. I have given up on aviation mags as they hardly ever have anything of interest anymore, with the exception of Kitplanes. They seem to purposefully focus on the boring edge of technology. Let's have another 10 page article about Cessna's new diesel plane that costs $1M that only that guy right there can afford. :rolleyes: Jae -- #40533 RV-10 First flight 10/19/2011 Phase 1 Done 11/26/2011 do not archive ________________________________ Message 10 ____________________________________ Time: 09:21:06 AM PST US From: "Pascal" Subject: Re: RV10-List: Spread in AOPA Pilot Tim; Getting those two pages on a certified Pilots magazine is still a feat. I would have expected EAA or Kitplanes would be a better fit and they would have taken this with open arms, especially EAA (Sport Aviation) that covers numerous stories on XC country flights in ultralights, which I found absolutely boring compared to your journeys. Can I assume experimental specific magazines were not interested ? Even if this covered a Long Eze or other aircraft, I would still be fascinated by what one family did with their homebuilt.

For the half empty... No disrespect towards you at all Tim but at first all I could think was... wow what a pile of crap on AOPA's part. The least they could do is spare a few paragraphs of your awesome narratives I've enjoyed reading over the years. It's sad to say but I guess we're supposed to all be flattered that a "homebuilt" got two pages of pictures in AOPA right? For the half full... Wow a non-corporate sponsored, homebuilt article was able to get a 2 page spread of pictures and 8 sentences in AOPA... that's progress. I guess the homebuilt market is really making a dent. I guess it depends on which side of the bed I wake up on. -Ben -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv10-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tim Olson Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2014 7:02 AM Subject: Re: RV10-List: Spread in AOPA Pilot Here you go: http://www.myrv10.com/AOPA_50_States.pdf That's just those 2 pages. Tim ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 11:37:07 AM PST US From: Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Spread in AOPA Pilot You're right that it has it's ups and downs. The guy who got it in there is an RV pilot, so that's a plus, and he was real nice. But yeah, usually if you take the time to write something complete, you'd think you'd get at least 50% of it in. In this case I really didn't have much to do with the thing except provide some info. And even that info like fastest speed and slowest speed...I mean that's a best guess. There's just so much more that could be done to flatter the RV fleet, and I felt it missed out on all of that. I do like writing, so I'll probably try again. I'm sure over the years there will be more things I'll try to get in. I agree with Jae though. To me, I used to read EVERY magazine I got, within the month I got it, cover to cover. It was plane&pilot, flying, flight training, aopa pilot, sport aviation, eaa experimenter, IFR, and now I just signed up for sport aerobatics. The problem is, lately I get many months behind on my reading. Too much going on for one, but Jae's right. I don't want to hear all about the new Diesel in every issue, and I certainly don't want to read the same stuff in ALL of those magazines every single month. The email newsletters are nice too, but you see the same promo stuff in 12 different forms every week, so it's more of a turn-off to keep getting bombarded by it. I'm also not too thrilled with some publications incessant pushback against things like 406mhz ELT's and ADS-B. Just a lot of wasted time if you ask me.
