Bob Condry and I have consulted and while we don’t know a lot I though I would pass along what we do know.
Bob will arrive at OSH on the 13th or 14th. Bob is then leaving for sightseeing and returning toward the end of the week. I will arrive on the 17thand stay through the convention. We will try and get a spot at the same location as last year or maybe if we are very lucky one row closer under the trees. Either of us is willing to stake out additional sites for anyone who would like one. Just send either of us a check for the total days from when you want it reserved until the end of the show times $19. You get a refund when you leave for unused days. I know some folks come early and others come late. We need a good way to put each in touch with the other so they can in effect take over (sell the unused portion) the same site and be with the group. Suggestions?
We will have several meals together for those who like. Bob and I are willing to run and get the food etc. and provide wheels for those who need them. We will put out a free will offering basket and let you know about how much we have in food costs. We don’t want to make money on this. We will also need to have a sign up sheet to give us an idea how many to prepare for. What nights are the RV barbeque and Van’s meal?
We don’t have all the details worked out and are open to suggestions. We are just willing to serve. Let us know your thoughts and we will refine the plan.

Gary, you're on the ball plenty good. Glad you're gonna be
one of the cornerstones again this year...same to you Bob.
What I'd suggest is that perhaps I could build a calendar
web page, that I keep updated....kind of a campsite diagram
that I turn into a .jpg....and I could show which sites have
people for which days. Then perhaps that would give people
an idea of who's committed, and how long they've committed for.
No money would need to be sent until later...maybe as long
as it arrives to Gary/Bob by a certain date so they have cash
in had to pay for the sites. As the number of sites grows,
we'd just grow the pile we reserve.
One important thing: If you plan to bring a camper,
extra cars, a motorhome, or anything substantial, you'd
want to make sure you note that in an email (off-line please), so
that we completely reserve a whole site for you. Last year we
got into a situation where we had only so many sites, and we
squeezed a couple of things in at the last minute, since it was
easy to fit. This year we should try to organize it a bit so
we not only have more space, but ideal space.
One additional thought. If we get up to the 4+ sites being
reserved, and lots of short-visit types, we may want to think
about having everyone just pool in a couple bucks extra, like maybe
$22/day or whatever, so that we can reserve a single, completely
open site, right in the middle of the group. That would reserve us
a place to put chairs and stuff as a gathering point, without
interfering with a persons campsite too much....kind of like
a common gathering spot, but we'd all just kind of share the cost
so that nobody's space gets too pinched. And, if we get a sudden
last minute joiner in a tent, we could stick them off in the corner
of that site.
At any rate, I could help manage the site count and provide an
online update of it, since it's something easy for me to
offer. I haven't committed myself fully as to my exact schedule for
the week, but this year I'm leaning towards a Sunday thru Thursday
type thing, with perhaps a mid-day trip home sometime during the
week. Not sure if I'd extend it to Friday or not.
Glad to be a part of it. This is going to be another good year for
the RV-10 builders, I can feel it already.

Does a RV10 require a header tank for the fuel system ? I am not
building one but was told any high horse power plane needs one to keep the
fuel flow going. Otherwise it can be starved for fuel in un-coordinated or
unusual flight.

Randy:
Change " high horse power" to "high wing" and you'll have it right.
Generally, only high wing aircraft need a header tank.

No header tank. There are several certified planes running the same
basic system, Mooney for example. The 10, like the Mooney, does have an
aux. boost pump.

I am willing to throw a (small sum of money) towards those individuals
who come early and stake out RV-Headquarters turf. It is great to have
a strategically and easy access site for the whole OSH experience. If
many thought a few dollars was of value, maybe we can lighten the load
for the many who arrive later.

Many kit built aircraft with High Performance engines have resorted to
larger fuel lines and small header tanks to alleviate those fuel
starvation problems which can exist intermittently. The FARs are clear
on percent of fuel flow delivery for WOT.
No one has yet reported a problem with the RV-10.
