 |

Well, we made it down to the last few days before OSH. Many good
things are in the works, and from the chatter on the list you can
tell people are getting a bit giddy with excitement. Yes, I
mean you guys from Las Vegas especially. 
So far, there are roughly 157 people on the RV-10 OSH list.
27 of those are people who were on the list last year but didn't send
in anything this year. Some may be flying (in fact, I know at least
one is) 34 of them are people who can't make it to the show this
year and who will be dying for us to take photos. That leaves
just under 100 RV-10 builders on the list confirmed as going to OSH.
Of those 96, there are 8 of them who will be there with an RV-10,
and in Jesse's case, a possibility of bringing a pair. That's
pretty good for an impromptu list....about 1/4 of the 610 kits out
there are accounted for in this list.
I'm sorry to act like a self-appointed leader of the group...really,
I wish I was just along for the ride, but I have always found that
in loosely knit groups, someone has to grab the reins and coordinate,
for the good of the community...and in the end, everyone benefits
from a slightly closer-knit group. I say this because I don't want
to put people off by seeming somehow to be "in charge" of something...
I just want to be part of the glue that keeps us together.
In that respect, I want you to also know about the opportunities for
this week that are now falling into place.
DAILY: At 10am each day, the RV-10 builders who want to, will gather
in the area in front of Van's booth. There were a few requests for
2 meeting times, so let's make the 2nd one be 2pm. The 2pm one may
not be as large, as many people may be scattered by then, but it will
provide a nice way to jump in and hear the rumors of where people
will be at the end of the day.
NIGHTLY: Boy are we lucky we have some great members! Bob Condrey
has already landed in EAA's Camp Scholler, and snagged a few consecutive
campsites for himself (Motorhome), Gary Specketer (Motorhome, landing
on 7/19), and myself. There may be opportunities for him to save
you a spot adjoining, or at least near the area, if you contact him.
This area we will know as "RV-10 HQ", as during non-show hours, we'll
be spending a lot of time there entertaining. Bob has provided a
general map of the campsite here:
(For OSH list members) http://www.myrv10.com/osh/RV10_HQ.jpg
(For non-list members) http://www.myrv10.com/osh2/RV10_HQ.jpg
The area is said to be partially shaded, and as you can see, it's very
near the airfield, and not a long walk to the 4 central hangers in
aeroshell square. You are welcome to swing by after the show any
evening and you will very likely find people there to talk to.
There may be a few times where we head out to dinner as a group
too, and we welcome all comers. During the week, feel free to
contact Gary, Bob, or myself at our cell numbers on the OSH list
if you need help finding this place.
WEDNESDAY (at) 10am: Van's RV-10 forum (and other side-by-side models)
in Honda Pavilion Tent 7. This has been OK in the past. I myself
won't be there that day, but usually you'll see some -10 people
hanging out after the forum.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Bob Collin's RV BBQ. See here for more info:
http://home.comcast.net/%7Ebcollinsrv7a/eaa/2006bbq.html
If we get better coordinated, perhaps we can do a -10 version
of this next year.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Van's RV Banquet
http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi?&browse=new&product=oshkosh-06
Surprising to me, but there are a gosh darn lot of RV-10 people
including myself who will be at the banquet. I've never been there
before, so I can't give details, but I know you must pre-purchase your
tickets if interested. 6pm, EAA Nature Center Tent #2 on field.
RANDOM: Everyone will be watching planes, spending way too much
money in hangers A thru D, and gawking at all of the various RV
paint jobs, and the completed -10's. I plan to hang out a lot at
my plane, under a canopy this time instead of playing Chinese
Sun torture. I'll be parking in HBP (Homebuilt Parking) during
the show. (http://www.myrv10.com/osh2/shade.jpg) I'm bringing
a couple extra chairs, for people to hang out. I do have one
rule though for people who come.....don't just hang out there
and let one single person manopolize....if you come up and want
to say something, just bust right in and say "Hi". Everyone should
be welcome to join in and be a part of the family. My wife will
probably be there with me much of the time, and as long as you're
not too young, muscular, and good looking with more hair than me,
you're welcome to talk to her too. In the latter half (Thurs - Sat)
of the week, I'll probably spend slightly less time near the plane,
as I'll have kids along. If you have kids along, bring 'em on
over and we can get them all hanging out. Perhaps we can send
the significant other parents with the kids over to KidVenture
or some other cool activity. There will also be other RV-10
builders at the show who will likely be more than happy to
show off their planes. We'll probably be in the same general
areas of the HBP and HBC areas (parking and camping).
SPEAKING OF PARKING: Jeff Point is still hoping to get any
headcount he can on RV-10's coming to OSH, and if they will
be parking or camping. There is no reserved area, but they
will be trying to have an area with slightly larger parking
and camping slots, and they want to make sure they allocate
enough room for our RV-10's. He's the guy in charge of these
areas, so I'm trying to get the info and just turn over
a count to him. Surprisingly, if we only have 8 planes on the
list, that makes it just a fraction of the 37 flying listed
on Van's site. Alex De Dominicis will have his RV-10 at Van's
booth, so go look at his as well. He has A/C installed...which
is my personal guess as to what the "significant" new product
news is all about at Van's.
AS FOR THE OSH/BUILDERS LIST: I plan to keep the list going, so
as you complete kit sections, or especially, as you do your first
flights, if you let me know, I'll update the list with your info.
It'll be a great long-term resource for people. If you haven't
yet updated or sent your stuff, you can go to:
http://www.MyRV10.com/osh.html and get it in. I will be adding
names up until about Saturday night or Sunday this week, but then
I'm heading out and probably won't get much email access for
the week. (Wednesday is an exception) So it's not too late yet.
It would be great to see some of the other 3/4's of the RV-10
community join in, but I understand that not everyone likes
being a part of a nice group of people. To each, his own....just
like our choices in engines, primer, and everything else we
do during our build. Once again, for the less current,
no-contact-info, sample list, go to: http://www.myrv10.com/osh2
For those who sign on the list, you'll get an email back
after I sign you on that has the info you need to access the
main OSH list at http://www.myrv10.com/osh I only do this to
help keep you from getting spam and phone spam after signing
onto the list. It's way too for web bots to get tons of email
addresses from a public list....so I keep it private.
So there you have it, the plan as I know it today. Everyone
who's coming, have a safe trip to the show, especially if
you're flying in. So far I have no takers to fly over together,
so I guess I'll just see everyone there. Weather permitting,
I'll be on-field by Monday a.m. 9am at the latest.
See you there,
Tim
PS: It's just surreal to know that last year my panel was
hanging out in Stein's booth, power wired only, and my engine
was sitting in Aerosport's booth. I came home after the show
and had a rush of motivation to start completing the canopy top,
doors, and windows in the August evening heat. It was the energy
of OSH 2005 that allowed me to pour on the nearly 1000 hours
that I put in between OSH and February to get things flying.
Let's hope we can stir up some of that motivation in those
who are building!

Wish I was going to be there, I will be flying off my hours on N710RV during
Oshkosh week instead. Tim might get mad if I was there and hung around his
wife as I have a lot more hair, but mine is turning gray so he probably
doesn't have much to worry about. Besides my wife usually has me on a
short lease anyway.
I for one really appreciate all the help Tim has given both on his building
web site as well as help in getting things organized for OSH2005 and now
OSH2006. I nominate Tim Olson as head of the official OSH2007 RV-10
builders get together, and move the nominations be closed. Any seconds? If
you do second my motion, please also move the vote!

Sounds like there will be a few people up this weekend already. I'm
making the 17-18 hour drive up tomorrow so I'll be up there tomorrow
night (twisted aren't I) if anyone wants' to get together for drinks or
dinner over the weekend. I'll probably hop on the motorcycle and drop
down by Airventure to check things out on Saturday afternoon. Feel free
to give me a ring if you are just hanging around, number is in "the
list".

For those that will be in Wisconsin this weekend and want to see a
different side of experimental aircraft construction, this will be the
weekend for the annual Pietenpol Air Camper fly-in at Brodhead,
Wisconsin (C37). The Pietenpol (designed in 1929) is generally credited
with being the first widely built homebuilt airplane (Bernard Pietenpol
was about 50 years ahead of Van and sold kits for $50 in the 1930's).
Last year we had 22 flying Piets there, in addition to the dozens of
antique airplanes of all types that are based at Brodhead. A good,
informal group but you might take some ribbing for flying something so
modern as an RV. Of course, as long as you love airplanes you will be
accepted.
Brodhead has 3 runways, all turf, with 100LL and Mogas available. It is
about 90 nm SSW of OSH. Traffic generally uses the longest runway, 9 /
27 which is 2400' long. CTAF is 122.9, but few have radios. It's a
different world of aviation.
Wish I could go this year, and then on to Oshkosh

Let's see. 4 5' chain sections. (check) Wrist and ankle bracelets
(check). 4 5/8" eyebolts (check). Drill and bit for mounting eyebolts to
studs (check). Keys to bracelets out of reach (check). Sufficient water to
last through OSH (check). Arranged with 2 independent friends to come
unlock me when OSH is over, one as a backup (check). Computer within reach
(check).
OK, I'm ready! Chain me to the mast, mates.
Guys and Gals, have one heck of a great time! I'll be looking for
(hopefully, daily) reports of the doings, especially the evening get
togethers. JC, you better bring back some interesting pics and tall tales!
(My plan is to meet everyone next year, so plan on coming back at least one
more time.)
