Well with Sun & Fun behind us and OSH just around the corner, I think we 

need to call on our resident expert prognosticator   -  John -The 

Turbinator Cox   for a prediction of RV-10 completions prior to OSH.  

(He was so convincing this past year!) Van's site say's there's 79 

reported, I believe I've seen one or two others not yet reported to 

Van's. And there's a bunch that are close.



So anybody up for a pool?



Condrey / Specketer / Olson got any plans for RV-10 HQ this year?

Tim O.  you going to run your contact list on your site again this year?

Who's going to the Bob Collins BBQ?

(I can feel the excitement mounting.......)

I doubt we'll see 100 completed, and I bet no more than 25-30 show up.

Just a guess.

I'm strongly considering just joining the gang in Scholler this

year.  I'd actually love to camp by the plane, but I don't think

I'll go that route unless there are at least 10 RV-10s that would

participate.  It's nice to keep the gang fairly together, for

camaraderie.  The camp site in scholler worked great last year.

We just need to better coordinate the arrivals and departures this

year so we can secure more sites in a group.  Michael Sausen lives

really close and last year he volunteered to drive over and stake

out the areas for us.  I could also fly over prior to the show

and do that if he can't make it.  He'd have better luck snagging

sites though, as he could check to ensure we aren't getting too

late...remember you have to pay from the time you stake it and

use it technically.

Yep, this year it'll be a little easier....I'll just add a

column again on the builders list, where I can update the dates

for people....and note if they're coming.  I think I'll not

start that until about mid-June though...1 month out ought

to do it.  Hope to see quite the crowd.

Undecided, myself, because of an undecided schedule.  It would be fun.

I think we're probably to a point where we could start thinking

of doing an RV-10 specific one too, if we could overcome the

logistics for getting the food and cooking it.  Even if we only had

25-50 people at RV-10 HQ, that would be fantastic.  Nice people

there last year.

I was currently planning on camping in the North 40 next to my Cherokee.  I would be very interested in joining a group of 10 builders/flyers in Scholler.   



My only concern would be how to get the gear from the plane in the North 40 to the campsite and back. Unfortunately, my camping gear isn't easily backpackable.



Are the trams running prior to Monday?

Yes, I did volunteer to grab spots at OSH as it's only about 30 miles from me and not a big deal to run down there.  I'll leave it to you guys (I nominate Tim or Bob ) to coordinate and figure out how many spots are needed and if you want it shaded or as far east (towards the flight line) as possible.  Just let me know what's needed.



  I'm running Bob Collins to get the food and stuff for the BBQ so I guess I'll be there by default.

Until I finish licking my wounds from "06 and the dismal showing, I am

still operating in a deep Beer deficit that I promised Mr. Sausen I

would stand behind.



Few of the more than 700 kits purchased have ever surfaced on either the

matronics, yahoo or RV list.  I still track about 50% of the total in my

database. About 10% are semi-regular posters.  It could just be

representative of lurkers as a lot.  I second the anemic possibility of

25-30 even given the fabulous RV Central, motorized couch and Camp

Condrey setting of '06.



The big news should be the release of the RV-12 as the minor glitches

get ironed out. Rotax is rumbling about a F.I. turbo-charged version

which would make a twin RV-10 a real possibility for a true-blood hot

rodder. Fuel will be repressively expensive but is balanced by the

exceptional beer, brats and cheese hospitality of Wisconsin residents in

mass.  The VLJs are coming on strong, the LSAs think they are now ready

for prime time, and the EAA has put great daily Airshows together.

Marion B. will have a lot to atone for if Congress lets her funding

philosophies pass.



The 51% committee met yesterday in Milwaukie, WI.  Silent on correcting

the issues as always.  Lets sell more kits.



Standing with you at not more than 30 in '07.  Did everyone else feel

the feeling of loss I got when Bob Collins pulled the plug on the RV

Hotline?

Bob and I will set up HQ again this year.  We have not yet coordinated when

we will be arriving but a few days before OSH starts.

I misread the question... not uncommon with my circadian rhythms, age

and weather changes these days.  Fourteen (14) known and unknown, to be

completed and capable of making the pilgrimage with the other 79

"Flying".  Then of course there are the masses that tried but pulled

back from the crunch last year.



Scott, I still think you should put it up for judging. Not to exceed 30

in attendance including the mass produced ones.

We will have our Expedition, and will be happy to coordinate picking

your stuff up and moving it back and forth for you.

Lloyd, Lloyd, Lloyd!  Why in the world would you take your Expedition if you

are flying in your -10?  I don't think the baggage area is that big.  You

are hoping to fly soon, aren't you?  Even though some of us are not brave

enough to go Subie yet, I believe most of us want to see you fly.  Please

don't leave the plane home if you are flying!

The Expedition is for his maintenance crew.  LMAO!  Now back to work, I expect to see that thing there!

The irony is your RV-10 will cost less to get there than the SUV.  No worries, I have a RAM 3500 with a full size bed and crew cab.   If he can't fit it in there he's got bigger issues.

I will be there early but like Gary said, we haven't really coordinated yet.  Last year got a little crazy trying to secure spots before they were gone so I'd prefer to get commitments in advance and then secure a section of contiguous sites in the same area as last year.  The legally secure the site (actually be able to tag it) you wind up paying from the moment the tag is issued until the last day of AirVenture but can get refunded for days that you leave early.  I'll have to look back at a calendar, but I belive that I actually got there the Wednesday before Airventure started and that worked out but there were only about 4 sites actually available along the treeline.  Across the "road" to the west it was wide open though.



We'll figure something out over the next month or so and then post it on this and the VansAirforce RV-10 forums.



I don't see any problem if some folks need an assist with transportation - I will be doing things slightly differently this year and will have a car there in addition to the motorhome.  I would imagine that there will be at least a couple of other vehicles available if folks needs help getting equipment back and forth from the North 40.



Assuming there's enough interest, it would be no problem at all putting together an RV-10 BBQ.  In fact last year we had essentially that on the spur of the moment.  I know that Adrian is also planning to bring along another couple of bushels of sweet corn again too!

 Check out the currently registered attendees at:

  

    http://home.comcast.net/~bcollinsrv7a/eaa/2007_attendees.html

  

 It would really help Bob Collins out if you are going to attend to register  as soon as you have your plans firmed up.

  

 We are coming in Sunday morning and leaving Thursday.

Maintenance crew, now you are funny, it is to carry the cotton baby

diapers to wipe off all the drool and fingerprints everyone will be

putting on it!

Keep in mind I am a glutinous American, so why only take one, I will be

taking both the RV10E and the Expedition, it is my right to burn as much

fuel as possible on a trip!

Guys,

The RV10 is large, but it does not have a trailer hitch, and the pop-up

is too big to fit into the baggage area, so because we will be there the

whole week my wife offered to drive up and meet us there. 

I SHOULD be there with the RV10E and the Expedition.

Dan
