Dear RV-Builders,



I'm more than interested in building an RV-10.



Earlier this week, I visited the RV-10 project of Michael Wellenzohn in 

Switzerland. I haven't been able to fly in a -10 yet as they're still 

rare around me.



As I'll be in Oshkosh this year, I would be more than happy to meet up 

with a builder of an RV-10 and if possible, go for a short flight 



Regards,



Fabian

Welcome to the club of the interested, I moved beyond that two years ago and am just finishing the wings. But, I still have yet to ride in an RV-10, am also hoping to get a ride at Oshkosh.

Good Luck, building is a lot of fun.

I don't know what others think, but I would question whether OSH is a

good environment for a demonstration ride.

Van's provides demo flights at OSH. I had my first flight in a -10 last year there. They charge you $50 for the flight, but you get $50 off of the emp kit when you order it... which I just realized that I forgot to do. 

The demo is just a short 15-20 minute flight, but you do get to control the the plane, and it's interesting being in the traffic patterns at OSH if you've never done that before.

There are plenty of opportunities at OSH for demo rides.   There has been a history of many pilots taking folks up first thing in the morning. 



I can tell you the ride that my wife and I took with Tim was what convinced my wife I was building the right aircraft.  She hated my Cherokee, but fell in love with the 10.



I can also tell you I enjoyed the factory demo with Mike Seger too.

You guys interested in a ride should list your address and/or close airports.... you might be pleasantly surprised at the results.  I was a brand new pilot 3 years ago, and I have been fortunate to share this wonderful machine to 123 different passengers to date.

I purchased my -10 kit 2 years before I ever saw a -10 in person. The very next day I took the OSH demo ride and was happy I took the leap. Note I had owned 2 prior 2 place RV's so I knew Vans design philosophy well. I don't recall paying the $50 for the flight but maybe because I had already purchased the kit. Also I am sure we didn't do the demo flight from OSH but from a local 1 runway airport near OSH which makes for much easier in/out demos.

BTW I gave Michael and Irene (with her broken foot) a flight when they visited central California a few years back (2009). I also recently gave 3 separate RV-10 demo flights for people in my area. What a great way to spread the word. Flying the -10 is believing.

It's busy, to be sure....and I never like flying in the afternoon if

it's hot and sticky, but OSH can be a lot of fun to do little flights

and some of us do them every year.  In fact, I wish we'd see MORE

activity of that kind.  Last year Jim Beyer was nice enough to get some

really good photos for us at OSH.  It's always an adventure to be sure.

to fly the Ripon > Fisk > OSH approach with someone before they

come to OSH themselves.

If you want to get a demo ride from Van's make sure you sign up Monday 

am if possible.  The demo rides are limited and go fast.

I would agree on that! What I did 14 years ago was a week Oshkosh, then 

fly to Seattle rented a car, did the Yellowstone park for another week 

and had a demoflight with a Glastar and a RV6A, 3 years later I did my 

1st flight with my own plane!



Fabian, as you know, the first Swiss Glastar is flying might be another 

6-7 month until he can take Passengers however.

I have heard they book up fast. One of my goals at Oshkosh this year is to

get a demo rider with my son who is helping me build the 10.

I took on 2 years ago, just to say I did.  If you get there in the first two days, you can typically get on the schedule.  It might be later in the week, but you can get it.

They will let him accompany you on the demo ride.

Since no one answered your question , yes, if you come to Oshkosh from Switzerland, I'll gladly find time to take you up for a ride in my RV-10.  I hope to be there from Wednesday night through Saturday, but I only live a couple of hours from KOSH so my schedule may change.  



Just come prepared with your checkbook, as they say, it's the most expensive free airplane ride you will ever take!!

I concur; demo pilot scared the hell out  of me when he flew another aircraft (at tower request, not a 10) at 30 feet AGL  from the numbers to the orange dot with the horn blaring and the wings  wobbling side to side.

That was a fun flight for sure!  And coming up through RIPON as a four ship wasn't nearly as bad as I would have guessed.  Let's do it again this year!  And bring along new guys/gals.

-Jim. 

P.S.  Just to clarify, Andrea did the hard part with the camera and you guys flying wing...all I did was fly steady--that's easy.

Looks like another epic year there too....

Thanks for the huge reply! I thought about the demo rides as well, but 

as they might not be available to me, I looked (and found, thanks Mike!) 

for other opportunities.



Can't wait...



Cheers,

Fabian
