Well, I just signed up for the 2 day class.  I just starting looking at 

putting the top on  and queried  Dave Saylor about the class and found 

out one is scheduled for the end of the month.  Given all the belly 

aching about the fiberglass work, I was getting a bit of indigestion.  

What better cure than some training!



Have any of you attended this?  Any tips?

I'm also going.  Airline tickets purchased, suit case has been pulled out.

Maybe a year from now, airline tickets will be a thing of the past.  

Really looking forward to meeting some more -10 builders in person.

I attended the class last year... worth every penny.  What you learn  

about how much meat you take off the top will save you a couple of  

weeks of walking around alone.  The best tip I've got is to have  

lunch at the little Mexican joint on Airport Blvd.

Good Bill, you go and attend the class, then I can hire you as a

consultant when I'm at that stage on mine.

I haven't attended before, but will be attending this one. I'm happy to hear

some other list members are going.  I'm looking forward to putting some more

faces to the names.



I've done quite a bit of glass work on boats, but all the trimming and

finishing for an aircraft has been giving me a bit of pause.  Especially

with all the good things I hear about it. I'll be fitting the top in a month

or two so the class timing was about perfect for me.

I'm attending as well and look forward to meeting all of you.



I do have to say the best tip I've gotten though would be to farm out the

fiberglass!!!



Sure wish I wasn't flying in on Southwest Airlines for this one too.

That's what I like to hear.  I just put the top on for the first time 

and did a lot of walking around.  A little experienced  help and 

guidance will go a long way.  I've played with fiberglass a bit over the 

years but only as a hacker.  Adding a little technique and craft will be 

nice.

..this Mexican food thing is worrying me a bit though

I attended last year's class with Jeff and will second his comments. I had just spent 2 weeks gradually trimming my cabin top to fit before leaving for Dave's workshop. They showed us how to do the job in 2-3 hours, plus lots of other good stuff. Well worth your time and money.

(I'm resending this as the first reply didn't appear to make the list.  If

the duplicate shows up at some point, my apologies.)

I'll be there are well.



I wonder if we have critical mass to share rental cars and cut down expenses.  Mail me offline if interested.

Hi,



I will be attending the class in Watsonville. I live in San Jose and I 

will be driving to Watsonville and back both days. If someone is 

interested in car-pooling send me an e-mail.

Been thinking about this and have signed up.  Just finishing up wingtips.  Have a QB fuselage out in the garage.

Will fly into San Jose around 9 PM fri night and head out to Comfort Inn in Watsonville.  Look forward to meeting you all.

Great class.  One of the best parts was meeting other builders and sharing stories.  The Mexican food was a bonus.  There should now be three completed RV10s on the field - all worth seeing.  



Hmmm...  Perhaps if there's VFR weather it might be time for the $100 burrito run in the Citabria to meet some of you guys during the lunch break.

I would like to attend as well, but their web site doesn't show the class - is it full? I assume it's the 26 & 27 of January.

I didn't see it on the site either.  Because I had already taken my 

first walk around the plane looking at the ill fitting glass top, I 

decided to call.  Dave Saylor said the class was on.



Hope it's not over (or under) subscribed.  Suggest you call.



How many RV10ers does it take to stick a top on it?

OK, I've signed up as well. Flying into SJC, renting a car, staying at the Comfort Inn. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

By my count, we now have 8 builders that have spoken up here that are going.  



Sounds like its going to be a real party  



John, when you signed up, did they say how many are now on the list.  I was told that the max they could handle was 15 and a min to make the class was 5 which they had when I signed up.

guys!!!!



Have a Great time.

I believe, and this is just a guess after I was contacted, that it's up to

12 or 13.  Unfortunately, I had to pull out.  Sounds like a good group!
