With the recent outbreak of COVID-19, we (me) at myrv10.com have decided to implement some extra protocols for web site visitors.

I have disinfected my server, and will only be working on it remotely to prevent the spread of this virus.

Additionally, all website visitors are requested to disinfect their phones, tablets, and PC’s with appropriate cleaning wipes and materials.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I must have received 20-30 of these types of emails in the last couple days, and it seems to have gone off the deep end a little. Both kids have college cancelled, and all sorts of other things.

Here’s hoping all our travels this year actually work out. I can tell you that right now I’m on a trip and every little airport I’ve stopped at is business as usual, so it’s one time we can be extra thankful for our RV transportation that we on this email list can use. No worries about the cabin air!

Take care all!
Tim

I have an airline trip scheduled 8 days from now. Don't really want to take RV-10 into winter weather, but do I want to be away from home when officials decide to stop airline flights?

I'm not sure what the near term futureholds for flights, but I heard
just a bit ago that passenger loads are down 40-60% so at least you
won't be crowded. Not sure where you're going, but this winter has
been real mild by me and spring is already about here, so if isn't
too extreme where you're going, the RV may not be a bad way to go.
Fuel prices are down, and I paid under $4.00 a couple times today.
Hope that holds for a few more months.

It has been interesting to see crude prices drop to slightly more than half of a month ago, while not seeing a penny change in mogas or avgas prices so far. I would be going to Salt Lake City, and mountain weather is both unpredictable this time of year, and definitely still has below freezing temps and ice possible. I'm not real fond of cold starts without pre-heat, for the amount of wear it induces. I certainly don't care to find out how the RV wing handles with a load of ice. I dealt with way to much icing when I lived up north, so have sworn off of that risk.

Here in NorCal mogas has dropped noticeably in the last month. Avgas, no. OTOH a Chevron engineer once told me that they produce a year’s worth of AvGas for this area with a refinery run of one day. Since AvGas is now a specialty product, the cost is all labor and overhead, pretty much unrelated to the price of crude.

No STC needed for amateur built aircraft, unless you are keeping the engine
in certified mode for some reason.
Biggest issues with Swift Fuels 94UL is that it is only available a few
places in the mid-west and it costs as much as 100LL.

Just checked, at the closest air to me to buy Swift UL94, it is more than 100LL. Michigan City
