				Two days ago the FAA came to my hanger and did my inspection, and much to my disappointment my elevator did not have the correct travel so I did not get my pink slip, but I learned a valuable lesson of check and recheck all work, even if you have looked at everything the night before, look again and measure again.   
 Fortunately the FSDO worked with me and was able to have the inspector come out again this morning at 11a.m. N289DT became an airplane, she had her pink slip and operation limitations and after about 8 hours of additional work she was ready for flight……with the Eggenfellner Subaru engine spinning the best Damn looking 4 bladed prop out there, we leaped into the sky and quickly my dream became a reality. She climbed great, we flew together for about 40 minutes, all temps in the green, and just a few small issues to fix tomorrow.  
 As the sun was setting I setup for the approach to the local runway and ended up a little high, remembered that I was only at half flaps and was able to land on the first third of the runway rather than going around. What an experience, I could not stop grinning and can not believe my wife and I built this in our garage, with the help of our good friend Don Gray.  
 Without the love and support of my wife this would never have happened. Thanks to her, Don, Vans, SteinAir, Eggenfellner aircraft and soo many other people I now have one of the coolest airplanes to fly!  
 Talk to everyone later, will have pictures to post tomorrow, as soon as I get caught up on no sleep for 7 days...

				Congratulations Dan to you and your wife for having  completed your journey/dream. It is a long process but the day you just  completed makes it all worth while doesn't it.
   
  I just went airborne recently so I know your joy. I  hadn't heard of anyone having a four bladed prop so I'll be curious to see your  pictures.

				Great news Dan!   Congratulations!  
    
 If I would have made a bet based upon where you were at on Sunday, I would have thought that there was no way you were going to be able to finish in time.   I’m glad that I would have lost that bet and that you were successful.   
    
 I’m looking forward to seeing both you and Trish again at OSH and hearing all your stories about how the Egg is doing in the 10.  
    
 We’ll certainly have to celebrate a new flying RV-10 at RV-10 Headquarters!

				39 hours and 20 minutes to go, and if I follow the plan I will make it
 with a little to spare, but God controls the weather.....I think we will
 make the 40 hours and flying on Thursday evening and park at
 Eggenfellners booth.

				Dan, I really didn't think you'd make it before OSH, (probably just 
 jealous) but I'm mighty glad you did. Looking forward to seeing you and 
 you're plane.

				Dan, congratulations on a most important milestone in RV-10 building.  I
 don't believe you can truly fathom how many people are looking forward
 to seeing you and your plane on the sacred ground at OSH next week.
 
 Take care and may your flyoff be un-eventful.  I just returned from
 NWEAA, which is billed by them as the largest regional EAA fly-in.
 Attendance was down about 30% from last year. Personally, I think Sun
 N'Fun has that record for a regional.  You are the talk of many NW
 builders.  Unfortunately word of Roger Everson's loss of his RV-7 Subie
 Egg H4 supercharged 2.5L down in Arizona set things back.
 
 Do it right... fly safe.
 
 I am still trying to grasp the word that "Two weeks to Taxi" is
 available to RV-10 builders.  Dave Saylor, VAN, Joe, John, and Rick must
 have given up trying to save the homebuilt industry for those select
 few, large production numbers offered by the capitalists.  OSH '08 -
 maybe the FAA will do it right for a change.

				Just remember when you get yours done the Paint will be complete and the
 interior done. Unfortunately for me, my painter did not see the need to
 hurry and put a 30 day delay in the project, so once I made the decision
 to steal the plane back things went quickly, but she has painted wings
 but not the fuselage. She is flying and performing great, and she will
 get her paint completed in late August at a shop down in Florida that
 painted the S&F award winner.
 I look forward to meeting you in person, stop by the campsite and we
 will share a cold one, and talk RV's!
 Dan

				I think Dan's camera is broken.
 
 I for one am really interested in seeing that cowl and that four bladed 
 prop. I told him I wouldn't comment on the pink paint job.

				I'll chime in.....
 
 Even though I did get a chance to see it last Sunday and help Dan with a few very minor tasks.  I am interested in more details about the cowling.
 
 Both Jan and Dan were busy and I didn't want to distract from the tasks at hand.  All I came away with was that it wasn't a Van's standard cowl, nor was it a Sam James cowl, but rather a customized cowling from various sources.
 
 I was going to wait until I saw Dan at OSH to hit him up with all the questions, but thought I start by asking this cowl question first.

 Dan,
 	What does a award winning paint job go for these days for a -10?

				We are doing our best, The flights continue and we are learning more
 with every one. The RV7 H4 was lost because he had an overboost
 situation because of a failed waste gate servo. The servo had popped the
 breaker twice, but was tested after each overload by the builder, and
 thought to be safe and undamaged, apparently it was not still in a good
 enough condition. The scary part of this is I do not know if any of use
 would have thought differently, after all the CB is there to protect the
 wire and an overcurrent situation and the device worked during testing.
 Just goes to show that even those that are prepared 110% are still
 susceptible to unexpected failures. The pilot was okay, so he can
 rebuild, still a major lose, but he lives to build again.
 
 We have a local WWI builder, Fred Murrin, he has built a Fokker
 Tri-plane used in the discovery movie about the Red Baron, and he has
 also spent the past two decades building a Sopwith F-1 Camel. Fred is
 the pilot's pilot, one of the worlds most knowledgeable Rotary engine
 experts. He rebuilds them from the 1920's, restoring them from the
 ground up, making the parts that do not pass inspection, for people
 around the world, most recently Peter Jackson, from the Lord of the
 Rings Trilogy had him building an engine for him. Fred has the
 experience, the skills and the drive to successfully build a plane, but
 unfortunately on Friday he was flying his Sopwith Camel for its 3rd
 flight and on a go around the engine quit and he crashed. Fortunately he
 survived, with major injury's, but he survived. Heart breaking for sure
 to see a 20 year project laying broken in a corn field, but he will
 rebuild.
 
 Lets all keep this into perspective as we get ready to travel to Osh
 Kosh. Tim has posted several must reads, and the NOTAM is out there.
 Lets keep our ego's out of the cockpit and fly safe and smart, and keep
 our heads on a swivel as we go into the busiest airspace in the world
 next week. This will be the first time I get to go there in a plane I
 built and I would hate for me to be the cause of any angst for anyone,
 so I am doing my best due diligence to be prepared and ready for
 anything as I safely approach the area. I would ask any and all that are
 reading this list and attending the show, follow the recommendations of
 your fellow pilots and read all of the available information for a safe
 flight. 
 I look forward to seeing and meeting everyone at the show this year, Fly
 safe and Godspeed to everyone.
 Dan
 N289DT RV10E Flying
