 |
|
Let me go on record that ever since (actually before) biblical times, women began providing services to men “outside of marriage” and the word “professional “ has been bastardized for the monetary benefit of the few.
We now have people claiming “Professional Build”. Offering to build or sell you “Professionally Built Aircraft”. “Choose which flavor of the month we can offer which will motivate you to pay us money for our services – We will provide you that service – We promise”. A profession should be a group of people following a line of conduct as though it was Professional, or a calling requiring Specialized Knowledge and training often long and Intensive Academic Preparation, or engaged in one of the learned professions such a my doctors, lawyer, accountant, structural engineer, architect and real estate broker or better yet “conforming to ethically standards of a profession”. I am all for a method to establish who is a professional builder out their. Are You? Do we want a Professional Build Program? Do we quietly look the other way while the working guys and gals claim “professional” and take the money and run.
There are few builders who could meet such a definition, Dave Saylor may just be one who by his body of work, ethic and training might establish a benchmark. He is the only voice we have in the sea of manufacturers trying to sell more product and make more dollars for themselves who also serves our interest on the ARC. Builders who ethically manipulate the 51% rule to “Build to Order” are not such Professionals they are prostitutes (IMHO).
The result of such work may (I think - Will) lead to statistically adulterated insurance rates for the individual OBAM aircraft which have benefited by the 51% directive. It should come as no surprise with the increased sophistication of our aircraft systems that someone building them (Us RV-10 builders) needed training, academic preparation and some modicum of ethics. Paying for IT, does not make it Professional, it makes it a bastardized product. Before I answer Paul’s request for clarification on what I think of the ARC, I thought I would clear the air before wasting more bandwidth.
We are about to get what we deserve from the 51% Committee, I would like to think that as a group, we would like to see the private individuals who build, continue to do so and prosper. I hold a lot of respect for Real Builders. I would like to think we all would be willing to contribute to helping increase the margin of safety with our product. To use that redneck media guy’s tagline from the “Fair and Balanced Network” - “What say You?”
Here is a teaser as to where I am going, Paul. Builder’s who build should be allowed to continue to modify, maintain and inspection for the confirmation of continued safe operation their own personally registered and personally built aircraft – not that of any others. Certainly not “Build to Order”. Builder’s who sell, loose that specific Repairman Certificate upon the Sale, but they retain the right to sell it and to continue to build future OBAM. When individual’s who did not build it buy it, they would have to get a professionally qualified A & P mechanic with current IA endorsement to complete the inspection for continued safe operation and for the protection of the General Public – oh yeh, and they cannot maintain it either cause they are not of sufficient knowledge and training. We do not need increased insurance rates. We do not need more restrictive regulations. We need more and higher ethics in the Build process. We need to support guys like Tim Olson and the sharing of information to improve our own group, from within.
I will be nominating Tim Olson for the EAA Homebuilders Hall of Fame for 2007 and wanted to announce it right here (for his selfless generosity, tireless efforts and investment in time and the sharing of knowledge for safer OBAM aircraft and the safe growth of our remarkable group) and I am declaring it right now. Get back to Work.

Ack!!!!! I certainly don't see myself as deserving of such
a thing. I'm just trying to pass on some info that helps
people over the bumps and gather some good tips. There are
far more deserving people out there to be sure.
I should have taken my ham sandwhich out of my mouth before
I read that ending...I almost choked.  (but thanks
John for the compliment)

Always interesting to read your thoughts John. I am in agreement! Tim has been a strong force of the Homebuilder and should receive kudos for his efforts. He has played a strong component in my planning and enthusiasm to build a RV-10.
He'll get my vote!

I was going to nominate TIM Olson for a NOBEL prize to compete with Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh instead of a lowly Hall of Fame nominee. He is deserving of the honor..............BTW he did make the Axle extenders available to countries overseas as well as Canada and Mexico. He is truly an INTERNATIONAL Peace maker!

You should have never crossed the line and helped with the axle
extensions project or a search engine on your website. It might have
been the vision of your young labor force packaging those gifts. No
aircraft is more significant to OBAM than an IFR capable RV-10. The
rocket may get more headlines, the Epic LT more FAA scrutiny, the
Lancair more insurance notice but the RV-10 now that is and will remain
the King of the OBAM jungle.
I can't think of anyone with more of a tangible contribution to
education, leader, safety, innovation, technical contribution that is
either living or deceased (just to restate their nomination procedure).
And humble to boot. Now keep your health up for Camp Condrey in July.

John,
Great post and well reasoned approach, keeps the OBAM principle
pretty much as is while eliminating a part of the "hired gun" problem.
As a wanna-be builder (hopefully will be turning that into builder
status soon), I support TIm Olson's nomination. He's probably done
more to inspire future RV-10 builders than any single person by doing
a simple, sometimes daunting task of collecting and diseminating
relavent infromation about building his and other great RV-10's.
Without his webpages (and those of others he links to), I think my
preparatory work and insiration would be rather lacking.

builder soon!!

to think that as a group, we would like to see the private individuals
who build, continue to do so and prosper. I hold a lot of respect for
Real Builders. I would like to think we all would be willing to
contribute to helping increase the margin of safety with our product. To
use that redneck media guy's tagline from the "Fair and Balanced
Network" - "What say You?"
Here is a teaser as to where I am going, Paul. Builder's who build
should be allowed to continue to modify, maintain and inspection for the
confirmation of continued safe operation their own personally registered
and personally built aircraft - not that of any others. Certainly not
"Build to Order". Builder's who sell, loose that specific Repairman
Certificate upon the Sale, but they retain the right to sell it and to
continue to build future OBAM. When individual's who did not build it
buy it, they would have to get a professionally qualified A & P mechanic
with current IA endorsement to complete the inspection for continued
safe operation and for the protection of the General Public - oh yeh,
and they cannot maintain it either cause they are not of sufficient
knowledge and training. We do not need increased insurance rates. We
do not need more restrictive regulations. We need more and higher
ethics in the Build process. We need to support guys like Tim Olson and
the sharing of information to improve our own group, from within.
I will be nominating Tim Olson for the EAA Homebuilders Hall of Fame for
2007 and wanted to announce it right here (for his selfless generosity,
tireless efforts and investment in time and the sharing of knowledge for
safer OBAM aircraft and the safe growth of our remarkable group) and I
am declaring it right now. Get back to Work.
