Hi all! I picked up my emp kit on Tuesday from the shipping company.
Inventory done, only two parts missing! (I thought that was good considering….)
I have decided to name Tim Olsen on my reply to Vans regarding “Who inspired me the most to build an RV-10?”
I did this because:
1. Tim’s website is one of the first I found when I decided an RV-10 was for me. And as I have lingered out here over the years and watched his progress and first flight, it convinced me the -10 is the right airplane. It is especially motivating to see him and his family’s trip log. I also have two little ones (4 and 6) and look forward to doing similar trips one day. The trip log was especially useful in showing the “Commander-in-Chief” (my wife) what can be done with such a great airplane. (See Joan….Tim’s kids and wife are still smiling!!!!)
2. Tim’s posts to this list typically are insightful and informative. A lot of his posts have landed in my “Keepers” folder under RV-10. (Thanks for the wheel pant bolt drawing last night!)
3. He’s another Wisconsinite……
Not to slight the others that have inspired me, but Deems and CJ’s web sites are great too and I for one really appreciate the effort to pass on your [absolutely golden] knowledge!!!

Mike,
That's mighty generous of you. You're going to have to let me
take you out for a flight now in return. The fact that we're
in the same state should make that do-able pretty easily!
You're right that the wife and kids are still smiling. The wife
especially. Kids tend to take things like flying for granted,
but we just make it a point to ASK them before we go somewhere...
do you want to go by car? It will be 4 hours. Or, we can fly
and be there in just over an hour? That usually gets them
excited...and more importantly...it makes my wife REAL happy!
(read..."are we almost there yet?")
This is a good time to remind people about Van's sheet that
they send out with new kits. Van's sends a sheet that allows
you to name a person who inspired you to get the kit. They
then send an actual honest to goodness gift of a check to
the person, which is great because a completed builder wouldn't
always need a credit for van's stuff anymore. It's something
that you can use to say thanks to anyone who motivated you
to get your kit, or to say thanks for helping you out.
I'm absolutely NOT trolling for people to send in my name, as
within the RV community there are vast numbers of worthy
and helpful individuals who you should consider. But just
be aware the the form is there, and don't file it and forget
it, as that would be a true waste...as it costs you nothing
but can really give warm fuzzies to the recipient. I don't
know if Van's would send you a second one if you lost yours,
but it's worth the try.
I originally sent mine in with the name of the guy who
"let" me come help rivet his top wing skins, and assemble
his fuel tanks...which was the turning point where I said
"I can do this". It's just a fantastic little deal from
Van's.
PS: 40691...that's the highest number I've seen yet. 700
is only days away, if not already here!

Mike,
Your are going to love the building process and you couldn't have picked a
better guy than Tim for the referral fee.
Take Tim up on his offer to fly in his plane and you will reaffirm your
decision to go with the RV-10. I have two grandchildren (6 and 9) that love
to fly down to the coast in 50 minutes vs. four hours driving (are we there
yet?) and waiting in the ferry boat line. Flying over to Brenham for some
Blue Bell ice cream is pretty high on their list of things to do and places
to go.

I received one of these checks just the other day from a -9A builder.
The first thing that came to mind as I looked at the $100 check from
Vans was "Hey, I just need to convince 399 more people to build an
RV, and I can pay for the engine." 
Congratulations, Mike, on the emp kit.

Also, in the car they often stay awake the whole 4 hours (or 16), but in the
plane they usually fall asleep climbing through 5-8K, so they don't realize
how long it is even.

Or, you climb to 12,000' and put the pilot and co-pilot
on O2 and let the kids gently zone into a deep sleep.
