The information that I post is just that; information and my own personal experiences. You need to weight out the pros and cons and make up your own mind/decisions. The pictures posted may not show the final stage or configuration. Build at your own risk.

My pleasure...that jacket is comfy!

AX-O, generally speaking we look back on our old workshop projects and laugh (I keep mine well hidden). The "real thing" comes out muuuuch nicer. In your case, you may have an award winner on your hands.

Default Nice Recognition

Very well deserved recognition for someone who is giving so much to the RV community ... even to those of us who are still working stiffs and don't YET have time to devote to building.

I bought Dan's CD from his website a while back and have enjoyed many hours of education viewing his builder log that will serve me in good stead when I am finally able to build my plane.

Thanks, Dan!

Default Great Dan

Way to go brother Dan. I noticed on the schedule that you now have at least 3 weekends where you can't go anywhere!!!

As with so many, Dan was a major influence for me in getting my project in the air. I'm looking forward to flying my plane along side Dan.

I've always wondered if dan was an alien...(outerspace kind like in men in black) he seems to be on a 48 hour day....how else could you accomplish so much and have a full time job..
I've always wondered what in the world you do Dan! Care to enlighten us on what kind of job allows such flexibility? Maybe I'll switch careers! Seriously, thanks for all the great info you throw our way. Much appreciated.

I'm a software developer. I haven't worked in an office since 1995. I'm more productive with work when it all just kind of blends with my lifestyle. Work & play are very fluid. I enjoy what I do for a living, and as a result the work gets done...QUICKLY. I work nights, weekends, whenever. My employer is happy and I'm happy.
