Let me clarify my goal and my intentions with this "memorial airplane." I had a few VERY good ideas given to me (thanks John Jessen). First off, I am going to focus not on the fact that these pilots have passesd away doing what they love. But I am going to focus on the love they had for flying and especially the love they had for RV's. So here is the plan:





1. The plane will be built entirely on donations, and money raised thru various fund raising events.





2. The plane WILL NOT BE MY PERSONAL PLANE and I will not profit from it in any way form or shape.





3. Every detail on the plane will be a community effort, paint scheme and colors, interior, everything will be ran thru this RV list and those who have donated whatever they can, small or large.





4. When it is finished, it will immediatly be donated to the EAA and be flown from one chapter to the next. So this would be an EAA plane when it is finished.





5. It will be built to give the gift of flight to those who do not of access to a plane. (I grew up in the back of an RV and those are my best memories).





6. Instead of having the names of the pilots we have lost, the plane will travel with a book with every RV-ers flight stories, experiences and advice to Young Eagles. And as it travels around it will gain more and more experiences and stories.





I mentioned one way this will be paid for are Custom Flight Suits that my family and I are making, I have had good interest in them so far. They will have your name embrordered on the left chest, the date of your first flight and the model (RV-6-8-9 etc..) on the right hand sideand your tail number on the back.We can also put 2 patches from Vans, and if you wish aLycoming patch as well.They will be VERY nice and very high quality. they can come in Navy Blue, Kahki, Olive Green or Black with any color of embrodery. Each one will cost my family and I $90.00 so anything over $90 will go towards the cost of the plane. Please email me if you would like to order one for you or a friend. The $90.00 includes shipping.





So I really hope this idea gets a good response. Please let me know what you guys think and give me your ideas and feedback. And like I said this will be paid for by donations. So email me if you would like to donate towards this project, I have a SEPERATE bank account set up and SEPERATE pay-pal account set up for this. I will keep you guys up to date on the progress, but our first step is a set of tools (That will be donated to The Young Eagles as well) I figure between $1,200-$1,500. Then we will purchase the tail kit, as soon......So email me if you would like to donate, not only money buttools, avionics, radios, a hanger spaceto build it in. Even something as small as a little bag of rivets would be greatly appreciated.





Thank you guys very much for your time.
