I told my wife that it's all your fault. You all seem to be having
so much fun building a -10 that I figured I'd join in! I have loved
Van's designs but found the 2 place too small for me. Promised
myself if he ever offered a 4 place I'd build it. I've been
following the group for some time and have been impressed with the
lack of problems everyone seems to have building this plane. Must
be a great kit, I thought, so with the family in tow off we went to
OSH, arriving Saturday. No -10 to be found at Van's, out giving
demo rides they told me, so I satisfied myself with sitting in the
mockup. Finally saw the plane later in the day and now there's a
smoking hole where my checkbook used to be! Buzz and Ida at
Cleaveland Tools set me up with a tool kit and away we go! So if we
meet sometime and my wife gives you a nasty look don't forget I told
her it's all your fault!

Most excellent. This is best summary of this disease I have seen in awhile.
Another motivator or two:
At a fuel stop on the way to the Mason City, IA formation clinic and OSH in
my old 160HP CS prop RV4, a couple of guys walk up and one says to the
other, "Now this is what you should buy." Seems his buddy periodically gets
the hots for an RV and goes out looking. Guy one says, "would you mind
taking my buddy for a short ride?" I said, "sure let me put some gas in it,
check the weather, make a call, and then we'll go around the pattern." So
we prepare for a quick ride in a grossed out 4 with a big guy in the back,
some baggage and full fuel. On takeoff roll I hear a WOW! from the back
seat. A roll, a typical cruise power setting demo, high speed low approach
to a carrier break overhead approach and you guessed it, this guy is
infected.
Next day begins the second annual pre-OSH formation clinic hosted by warbird
pilot extrordinaire Doug Rozendalh, Falcon Flight Lead and FFI founder Stu
McCurdy and Team RV http://www2.mstewart.net:8080/teamrv/ lead Mike Stewart.
29 RVs flown by some of the nicest folks in the world show up for the
formation seminar. Sunday morning dawns crystal clear and, ho-hum, another
12 ship formation flight of RVs with a 13th P-51 is on the schedule. See
the pictures at Doug Reeves great RV sight:

Now the questions are: (1) will they let me fly formation with Team RV in an
RV10 or (2), how do you justify building a 10 when you already fly a 4.
Answer to 1 unknown, answer to 2, "Hun, now we can take the dog when we go
visit the kids."
One of the best kept secrets of the RV world is all the great people you
will meet flying around the country in your airplane.

Once she gets to ride in one, you might be a hero!
Sure beats driving! I know! (the 9 hours to and from
Oshkosh was spent day dreaming!)
In the meantime, just warn us before she sees any of us!
