Hi Folks,



Well now I've gone and done it - I sent in my order for an RV-10 empennage

kit.



Just wanted to say "Hi" to the group since I'll likely be bugging you with

inane questions 



Live in San Francisco and fly out of Half Moon Bay.  I'm a "repeat offender"

having completed my RV-9 in January of this year - she's got 300 hours on

her and I started the first Annual Condition Inspection last night.

(Aerosport IO-320, Hartzell Constant Speed, AFP fuel injection, 1 Lightspeed

and 1 Mag.)



I've been having a ball this last year flying around the great state of

California.  But I have to admit it - I really miss the building ... yeah, I

know, how messed up is that.



All the best ...



Gerry.

Man, you've been doing some flying to put 300 hours on a plane in less

than a year.  Welcome to the list, Gerry.  There are some good folks on

this list.  There are a number of topics that people will be very happy

to discuss with you, such as:



1. What kind of primer you need to put on your project

2. Which of the many alternative engines is better than the Lycoming,

and why

3.  What type of glass panel you need to buy

4.  Who are the recommended builder assistance shops

5. Why does the "tunnel" between the seats get hot



Just kidding - any of those topics will touch off a flame war.

Sometimes such wars are fun to read, but they generally are a waste of

bandwidth.  Any other topics will generally get you a good, well

thought-out answer.  There are a couple of websites worth adding to your

"Favorites" list:



http://www.myrv10.com/  This is Tim Olson'spage.  He is a very nice

fellow, and a prolific contributor to the RV-10 forum.  His website

contains a wealth of information.  Tim's plane has been flying for a

couple of years now and usually makes it to the major fly-ins around the

country.



http://www.soundingsresearch.com/RV-10/Home.htm  This is John Jessen's

builders log and he does a good job of documenting the various steps

involved.  Sometimes if you are confused about a step in the project you

can go to John's site and see some pictures that put things into

perspective



There are several other good sites but these have been of the most help

to me.



Welcome aboard!

Empennage Finished - trying to decide whether to buy the wing kit now,

or wait for the stock market to go up enough for my stock options to buy

the Quickbuild kit

Welcome Gerry,

	Maybe you can give a write up (at some point) on flying in and

around Half Moon Bay and the SF bay. I think that area is some of the

most dramatic scenery in the US and must be amazing from the seat of an

RV. Any tips as to the best months etc... to fly and particularly

weather patterns would be appreciated. (at your convenience)

	When my -10 is complete I will be taking the family to the Ritz

there. Looks amazing. 

	BTW great looking -9. 300 hours in 11 months. YIKES! You

obviously need another project.

Hi Gerry,



Welcome!



There are 2 other builders in the Bay Area that I know about - myself 

and Jae Chang - both in San Francisco. I bought an already completed emp 

kit from another builder, but then went and bought a house in San 

Francisco. This has shelved building for a while as my finances catch 

up. Looking forward to purchasing tools and the wing kit in a year or 

so. Jae is making good progress I believe.

Gerry,



I heard that a -10 was in your future.  You're gonna love it.

Hello Gerry

Welcome.  My son Jon and I are building a -10 in Oakland.  He's got a Citabria at the Oakland airport where we will eventually operate the -10.  We are working on the QB wings, but basically stalled until I finish converting my carport to a garage.  This is a great group - you are going to love it!

Gerry,

Welcome. The first gotcha will be the top rib in the Vertical Stab; you can read all about it on the forum. The next surprise will be the RV-10 Elevator bucking bar. You will use it once so see if you can borrow one.

THAT BUCKING BAR IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD FOR USING AS A BACK RIVETING PLATE FOR THE TAILCONE LONGERONS. SO i USED IT A LOT MORE THAN ONCE, ALSO IN THE TUNNEL

Hi Simon... yes, i am still here, poking along. you are welcome to stop 

by any time.



There are a good handful of bay area -10 builders at this point, that i 

know of, and more in all of NorCal: Concord, Oakland, SF, Sonoma 

,Watsonville (x3), Stockton, Cameron Park (x2). At this point, we 

officially have enough for a party.
