You're all by yourself, sitting  at the end of the runway, and for a few seconds a flicker of doubt passes  through your mind.  Years have passed since you first dreamed of this  moment, and now it is time.  One last look at the gauges and in goes the  throttle.  Surely the rest of your life will never be the  same!!

     N263DL took to the skies over  Bentonville, Arkansas this morning and I now know that feeling that drives  the "RV grin".  Still have lots of finish work to do but this is one sweet  flying machine. Thanks to all of you who have spent many  hours documenting your builds, especially Tim Olson.  You made my life  so much easier.

Doug & Lynn –   

   

Indeed, Congratulations and here is to your smooth and uneventfully safe fly-off of your Phase One.  I whole-heartedly endorse as well, your thanks to Tim Olson who shared with Everyone the process, the review, the decisions, the reasoning and the shear joy of flying the Best Model RV ever conceived.  You are all an inspiration to those of us who follow and learn by your superior examples.  

   

And Yes, the second generation of RV-10 builders is emerging.  I look forward to reports from Dan Benua, Ed Hayden, Rob Hickman, Deems Davis and scores of others on the flight characteristics beyond their Phase One approvals as well as those who are looking forward to the 2008 Safe Flying Season.

Congratulations Doug,Gee, I was just in Bentonville to visit my brother in December. I sure wish we had know there was a -10 in progress on the field. We will be back again and I would love to see your airplane.



Must be a sweet feeling! I am looking forward to it.



Best regards,

Doug,

  

 Congratulations on your first flight. It certainly  is a wonderful feeling when you first take off after all those hours of  building, and your up there in the air, and once you start breathing again, you  think "Hey I built this damn thing, way to go mate"

  

 It's like when you first get your pilots license  and they tell you this is your license to learn, I think now you have to learn  to fly it correctly and debug all your systems.

  

 Have fun with your fly off and fly  safe.

Doug, that's awesome....I know exactly how you feel!  It only

gets better from here on out too.  You're not at all done

having "firsts" with the plane, as there is just so much

that the RV-10 opens you up to being able to do.



Can you tell that spring is here? I think this year will FINALLY

be the one that we start seeing some more rapid completions

coming down the line.

And congratulations to Tim James, even though I don't  think he monitors the list.  Tim J has made some interesting "grass  runway" mods.  He's flying off his hours now and should be flying it into  the NW RV-10 Builders and Flyers dinner now scheduled for the 10th of May at Rob  Hickman's place.  

  

 So, besides Tim's, we should have Randy Debauw, Dan  Benua, Bruce Radke and Norm Rainey's flying RV-10's in attendance.  Dick  and Jerry VanGrunsven might also fly in, so there could be as many as 6  flying on display at Rob's airpark house.  Rob's plane (close to being  finished) and his new panel toys, which many will see out at SnF, will be the  static displays.  For those RV-10 builders in the great Pacific NW who are  not on the invite list, please contact me off line.  This will be one of  the best dinners yet.  If you want to fly your RV-10 in and do not  happen to be in the NW, well, I think we might be able to make room at the  table.  This event is mainly an excuse to get everyone together for dinner  and to meet and greet a couple times a year, so it's more social than technical,  but there's always something to ooooh and awwww over.  

  

 Anyone got an updated count beyond the one at Van's?   Both in terms of sales and completes?  

  

 John J.
