Just a note to let you know that my dear friend and RV10 builder Mike Howe passed away last week.  For many of you, his web site was of great value.  He took several hundred photos of each step in the build process.  His passion was flying and to be able to build the RV10 brought him great joy.  We used your help  on the forum to keep us out of too much trouble.  For those of you who may not have seen his web site: http://www.etigerrr.com/Default.htm   His obituary is below.

I know he appreciated all of your comments, especially the “primer wars”.

He certainly will be missed.  Thanks for letting us know, Rick.

He was a great guy.  We stopped by his hangar and saw him on

one of our trips out to Utah.  He was one of those fellas with

an extreme love of aviation and someone who treated all of

us builders as good friends.  It's too bad we lost him.

I'm sorry to hear that Rick.  I never met him personally but I always enjoyed following along on the site.



He's going to be missed.

I used the website along with Tim Olsonâ€™s for hundreds of references.  Pictures and descriptions were excellent!

 A real asset to the RV-10 builders! So Glad he saw itâ€™s completion and won  an award for the effort! 

 Heâ€™ll be missed!

My condolences. Mike was kind enough to show me around the plane you share

and the hangar a couple years ago. I have relied on his website constantly.

A real gentleman.

Terrible news! I never met him personally but chatted several times via email. Always very helpful and encouraging. You can almost build an RV10 with the instruction on his site alone.

Mike will be missed at the airport.  He was the guy who was willing to do anything to help you with a project or anything else.  I will miss him stopping by to say hi.  



Rick, I am sure glad you helped Mike finish the RV-10. It is great he was able to fly it and enjoy it before passing.

I wish to express my condolences to the family as well. As an absolute 

newbie, I remember scrutinizing his site with its high resolution photos 

as we paralleled progress on our projects and got to exchange a couple 

of emails about this or that. At some point the updates to the site 

stopped without definite conclusion on the project. It is great to hear 

we both got to finish and fly. For that I am grateful for his 

contribution to us all.



Thanks Mike!

Jae

In my short visit a couple years ago, it seemed that the EAA members at 

Bountiful Airport truly were a family, especially the RV-10 builders. 

When you look at what Mike contributed with his web site, Rick in 

helping Mike finish and fly,  what Sean and Scott managed to do with the 

supplemental door latch and other mods, it is quite a contribution to 

the RV-10 community. Thanks to all.

This is very sad news.  

 

I never tired of watching Mike’s progress, and whenever the head scratching commenced, his was one of the sites I’d invariably search, and just as invariably find the answer.  Then the site seemed to go quiet (as did mine, of course), which made me feel somehow left without a mentor.  I never met him, but am certainly going to miss his presence.  

 

RIP Mike.
