Thanks guys.  It was actually a full article and everything but they

basically chopped out all the text and did photos and captions only.

I wasn't too happy, because my original intention was to

try to show what can be done with GA, homebuilt aircraft.

But they felt it still did that.  It got pushed back many

months, so perhaps space is precious in the magazine.

Anyway, it's been an incredible experience to be able to

utilize a homebuilt airplane the way we have and I hope that

many (actually all) of you get just as much fun out of yours.

With the RV-14 coming along, I'm looking forward to being able

to take a few formation trips with people like my parents, who've

never really been able to experience a long X/C flight like that.

I think some day if Van's designed a 6-seater, it could potentially

be a hot seller.

Tim,



would there be a copy available on your website, for us overseas pilots 

to read?



Cheers

Anyway you could post the original article that was supposed to go with

this? I am sure it would be an interesting read.

Possibly, but not right now.  If I can find another magazine that is

interested in it, I'll submit it there.  After the 1st I'll

see if anyone is interested.  If not, then of course, I'll post it.

Pretty cool. That is too bad for all of us and all of GA for not seeing 

the full article.



I have given up on aviation mags as they hardly ever have anything of 

interest anymore, with the exception of Kitplanes. They seem to 

purposefully focus on the boring edge of technology. Let's have another 

10 page article about Cessna's new diesel plane that costs $1M that only 

that guy right there can afford. :rolleyes:

Tim;

Getting those two pages on a certified Pilots magazine is still a feat. I 

would have expected EAA or Kitplanes would be a better fit and they would 

have taken this with open arms, especially EAA (Sport Aviation) that covers 

numerous stories on XC country flights in ultralights, which I found 

absolutely boring compared to your journeys.

Can I assume experimental specific magazines were not interested ? Even if 

this covered a Long Eze or other aircraft, I would still be fascinated by 

what one family did with their homebuilt.

Pascal



PS: If only I could get my family to travel the great distances you did, in 

your -10.

I cannot decide if the glass is half full or half empty on this one.  



For the half empty...



No disrespect towards you at all Tim but at first all I could think was...

wow what a pile of crap on AOPA's part.  The least they could do is spare a

few paragraphs of your awesome narratives I've enjoyed reading over the

years.  It's sad to say but I guess we're supposed to all be flattered that

a "homebuilt" got two pages of pictures in AOPA right?

For the half full...



Wow a non-corporate sponsored, homebuilt article was able to get a 2 page

spread of pictures and 8 sentences in AOPA... that's progress.  I guess the

homebuilt market is really making a dent.

I guess it depends on which side of the bed I wake up on.

You're right that it has it's ups and downs.

The guy who got it in there is an RV pilot, so that's a plus,

and he was real nice. But yeah, usually if you take the time

to write something complete, you'd think you'd get at least

50% of it in.  In this case I really didn't have much to do

with the thing except provide some info. And even that

info like fastest speed and slowest speed...I mean that's

a best guess.  There's just so much more that could be

done to flatter the RV fleet, and I felt it missed out

on all of that.



I do like writing, so I'll probably try again.  I'm sure over

the years there will be more things I'll try to get in.



I agree with Jae though.  To me, I used to read EVERY

magazine I got, within the month I got it, cover to cover.

It was plane&pilot, flying, flight training, aopa pilot,

sport aviation, eaa experimenter, IFR, and now I just

signed up for sport aerobatics.   The problem is, lately

I get many months behind on my reading.  Too much going on

for one, but Jae's right.  I don't want to hear all about

the new Diesel in every issue, and I certainly don't

want to read the same stuff in ALL of those magazines

every single month.  The email newsletters are nice too,

but you see the same promo stuff in 12 different forms

every week, so it's more of a turn-off to keep getting

bombarded by it.



I'm also not too thrilled with some publications

incessant pushback against things like 406mhz ELT's

and ADS-B.  Just a lot of wasted time if you ask me.

Well done Tim



Now it's about time you both flew the six States and two Territories of Australia!



Safe skies and Merry Christmas.

 You say that but in the next couple years we may come that way

and I think it would be a blast to do some a little flyabout.

You bet 



just cross that word "little" out , except on the east coast most of 

that part of the world the distances between the next airfields are 

closer to the 400-500 miles distance. But it's so nice to fly there 

especially in the outback where you can do your own sightseeing around 

the wonders of the nature I loved it a lot and would do any time again!



Cheers Werner (1 Territory (NT) and 1 State (TAS) missing)

All RV-10 drivers are welcome to come and stay with us here in Adelaide, we're steadily notching up RV-10 visitors.

We finalised our airfares to the US yesterday, so Linda and I will hopefully finally meet up with some of the RV-10 family next year at Oshkosh.  We intend to be there for the first five days, before moving on to Canada.

Prior to traveling to Oshkosh we will visiting Los Angeles and San Diego, are there any RV-10 builders in Los Angeles or San Diego please?

We will then be traveling to Kitchener, Ontario and would love to meet up with any RV-10 builders in Canada too please.

Warm regards

Patrick

Patrick;

You owe me a visit from last time!

When in Los Angeles, consider coming down to Orange county- 45 minutes south 

from LAX (or 30 miles). We would love to host you and Linda when you're out.
