Pictures now available of the 2009 NW RV-10 Builders & Flyers BBQ held at Lenhardt's Airpark in Oregon.
We had fine weather and around 60 participants, according to one count. Four RV-10's flew in, each of which was displayed nicely on the cover of the latest EAA-105 newsletter. A complete set of pictures can be found at www.jessen-rv10.com. Click on NW RV-10 Dinners in the top menu. Scroll down until you get to the 2009 Spring picture, then click on that. The four RV-10's that flew to the BBQ included Randy Debauw, Bruce Radke, Norm Rainey, and Tim James. Rob Hickman's was in the shop being painted. Bruce and Becky Breckenridge had their completed empcone and wings out for examination and critique, as well as a demo of Jeff Bordelon's LED nav lights (http://www.jeffsrv-7a.com/LEDPROJECT1.htm). Paul Grimstad had his rudder pedals on display. Beautiful and affordable!
Jerry VanGrunsven was ask to do yeoman's service, leading this meeting's discussion, the topic of which was the flying characteristics of the RV-10, including what to think about prior to first flight. Current 10 flyers joined in during the Q&A. The conclusion? Definitely get some time in the left seat before your first flight. But don't be intimidated. The plane is stable and has great handling characteristics. It definitely has power and speed, so get the training if all you've flow recently is a 172. Learn how to stay ahead of the plane and you'll be fine. Included in the discussion was an update on the flying characteristics of the new Hartzell 3-blade composite prop, which is being test flown by Rob.
The "fall" NW RV-10 Builders and Flyers dinner will be held on Friday, August 28th, which is the evening before the RV Homecoming. Bob Brown and Norm Rainey will be our hosts. This will be at Independence, OR (7S5). We expect a good RV-10 showing. Let me know if you plan to attend so Bob and Norm can have a good count for planning purposes.
See you then!
