Well Tim, I'm still on Cloud 9 after that FANTASTIC flight you gave me
at Oshkosh. Adrenaline does quite cover it. If I can just get thru all
this electrical stuff!

Another observation: Ever year it seems that after OSH it gets
quiet. I'm guessing that when people return from OSH, it's like
getting a shot of builders-adrenaline...you get highly motivated
and start to focus harder on the build. For me, I put in almost
900 hours of building a year and a half, but after attending
OSH, I put in almost 900 in the final 6 months. That motivation
was ignited at OSH. It's very VERY common to see people go
more silent when they're within 2-3 months of completion. So,
perhaps we're on the verge of an RV-10 population explosion!

harrumph. just getting out from under an 80 hours in 5 days work week with a crazy Icelandic band. didn't make it to osh for some re-invigoration, so i've been trudging along making my nutty modifications on a perfectly acceptable design. apparently, i'm crazy. i've decided to limit myself now to no further modifications unless absolutely necessary. i'm going to build exactly (sort of) to plans from here on out. mods take time, and make you bonkers because there are no steps to check off! i'm getting to the bottom of my list of custom things that i really care about, and now i can get back on track. did the final riveting, bolting, and epoxying of the cabin top to the fuse over the weekend. phew! the list of nutty mods:
tailcone shelf
accuracy avionics overhead console
seatbelt system re-design
throttle quadrant sunk into tunnel
custom reverse-engraved closeout panels for overhead console (temp ones in place for now, but the cad files are final)
custom reverse-engraved closeout panel for throttle quadrant/fuel selector
i think the list goes further, but this is all the stuff that i've been stuck on. i'll have to take a day in the near future to update the website to reflect the progress. i keep falling asleep before i can get to it in the evenings!
i did attach a couple pics of the main closeout panel for the accuracy avionics overhead console that i made out of reverse-engraveable acrylic. i built the logo in a cad program, made a cam file, and cut it using my CNC desktop mill. the protective plastic is still stuck to the front, but you get the idea. as you enter the aircraft, this should be clearly visible, (the lettering is about 13" wide and 2.5" tall) and since it's reverse engraved, i'll be backlighting it for use as the cabin overhead light. double duty. sweet. time consuming. yup. i've lost my mind. got to get back to checking stuff off in the plans....
