Deems,
I really like your idea on training and forums. I owned a Bonanza and then a Baron for quite a few years and each year I would attend American Bonanza Society recurrent training sessions held in different locations each year and they were absolutely great. By going to different locations it kept my wife interested because she got a new place to shop :>}
They would put on some great forums on a multitude of aviation subjects, weather, maintenance, regs,etc. We would also go out with seasoned instructors for training and they would then do your bi-annual write off, but in my case, because I went each year, it would end up being annual. Boy with all the airline pilots with RV's I would think we could get some good instructors for these events.
We had one year where we went to Colorado Springs and they put on a mountain flying coarse which I thoroughly enjoyed. We flew into Aspen and into Leadville, which is the highest airport in North America at 9927 ft. They perform a little different at those altitudes.
Also they would put on a pinch hitter coarse for those flying with us, usually our wife's, where they would teach them about flying and where they could help out in the process. For instance teaching them about the "sterile cockpit" during critical parts of the flight. On the side I also had my wife take flight instructions just on the basics on how to control and land the plane in case she ever had to. I thought this is something that could be taught at one of these types of gatherings while the pilots were in a forum. I know the wife's seemed to enjoy these sessions.
Someone suggested tagging it on to an event like Sun-N-Fun. The only problem I see with that is that those are very congested airspaces during those events and it would possible add a certain level of danger to it. Also unless a person were to extend their time you would have to cut short that event to attend the RV events.
Anyway I think it's a great idea which would promote camaraderie amongst the RV crowd and also serve a great service of recurrent training, which I know that I need.

I’d like to suggest taking that thought one step further on some other issues. As more and more -10’s get in the air, it seems that the pool ought to be getting big enough for us to see some performance trends on the aircraft built by amateurs. What about starting an area where those who complete “x” number of hours of flight testing report performance of their aircraft based upon a standard, published testing criteria? If somebody who knows what they are talking about (that would not be me) in terms of setting up a standard testing program, and then explaining how to accurately implement it to us non-math majors, this might work.
We could then have an area where we could post the results. If we do the tests uniformly and honestly post the results, we could begin to develop some numbers of the -10 from non-professional builders. That would really help new builders in terms of what they can reasonably expect and what they should aspire to. Builders who’ve flown off their hours and then add any speed mods could also have an objective standard on expected performance.
I’ve seen performance results posted here and there in the past, as well as the inevitable follow-ups questioning the builder’s methods of data collection. Obviously, it’s not practical to go the very best route; one person performing the same set of performance tests on all the planes, but if we had a standard program each builder could take their new plane through, and then report the results, we could minimize the subjective bias in the data as much as possible.
Those of you who have some knowledge about this, post your thoughts and maybe we can develop something that everyone can start using.
I have been reading this listserv for about a year now, and still can’t figure out the method to the madness. Once I send this post, it disappears into the ether, and I don’t see it again until I stumble across it while doing my usual reading. Therefore, if you want to post back to the list, it might be helpful to also copy me if you want me to repond. Matt, if there is an archive walking us through how to more effectively use the list, let me know.
Do not archive. (I put that in because I see everyone else doing it --- I have no idea the reason for doing so. I am a sheep blindly following the herd. Is a group of sheep called a herd? a clutch? a pride? )
