Too quiet for the week before OSH

The subject says it all.......

I'm going to be at HBC from Saturday morning to Thursday morning assuming that the weather cooperates.

Regrettably, I'm going to miss the Black Otter, Van's Dinner, and the Beer tasting this year.

I hope to see many of you through out the week.

Re: Quick build order

There is a large RV group in Medina. I would reach out to Gary Baker to arrange to meet with somebody local that may be able to assist and provide mentoring. Gary is an EAA Technical Counselor with the local EAA chapter in Medina. Email me if you can find the chapter's contact information. I'm a lit...

Re: This is why I come here!

You know what, when I read that thread on the VAF, it reminded me why I painstakingly run this forum and gladly took it over from Spike. I'm looking forward to seeing some of you at our Mid Atlantic Gathering of RV's this weekend, and the rest of you at Oshkosh! Hmm, I guess I've been sleeping. I'm...

Re: Fresh meat!!!

The title had me a bit confused. When I hear "fresh meat", the first thing that comes to mind is:

Speaking of which, 159 days and 9 hours to Black Otter time! :grin:

Yes, but it has to perfectly match what is on your FAA registration.

Re: Wiring Harness

I can't stress enough what Mike mentioned about service loops. I thought I put adequate service loops in place when I wired my panel. I did it on the dining room table. I thought a few inches in front of the panel would be adequate. It should have be at least a foot. I have a RV-10, so YMMV on a two...

Yes, I have experience with the warning and I follow it's advice. I've intentionally not let either tank run dry, so I don't have experience with what's it's warning us not to do. :grin:

Re: ELT Antenna Placement

The problem with this type of dialogue is that nobody knows what position the aircraft will be in after an incident. It may flip and be upside down or it may not be. I ended up putting mine in front of the vertical stab per manufacturers recommendations. My thoughts were that I should know when ther...

Re: Oshkosh 2016 planning

Holy Cow I'm looking forward to Oshkosh again! Can't wait to meet those of you I haven't and catch up with those of you I know. My liver is cringing at the thought of running into CJ. We're not making the Otter this year--No point in turning my 1 and 3 year olds (the reasons I've missed 3 years run...

Re: Otter 2016

The vehicle Steve Brown is driving (which currently has one open seat) will be leaving via the south camping exit. I don't want to be anywhere near the north exits or SOS at the end of the day when the airshow is over. I can make arrangements to pick up or meet whomever needs the seat earlier in the...

Re: Boost pump

Don and Colleen Rivera are usually at OSH, but don't have a booth. I would give him a call and arrange at time at OSH to meet. They are very personable and eager to assist builders. I also highly recommend attending Don's Fuel Injection class that he holds in November and March (I believe, details o...

I'll see what I have left Joe...perhaps a hat? Cool new logo/slogan on the new hats this year.

You bringing a box of the them to the Otter, or do we need to hit you up in the booth for the new logo hats?

I'm planning on being there and bringing along Ken Wood, a potential RV builder. At this point in time, we both will need a ride. I'm still attempting to talk some of the folks that are driving that they really need some prime rib and RV talk on Wednesday evening. It's been a few years since I was t...

Re: VPX

I'm not afraid to admit, I can be influenced with some vendor swag. With a RV-10, I have room to bring home a whole lot of it from OSH. :D My VP t-shirt is pretty badly faded and isn't representative of the fine products that Chad sells. :P
