Another beginning...

Howdy all.

Welp, I pulled the trigger.

I have ordered tools (I'm sure this is an ongoing thing) and the tail kit! I'm very happy and extremely excited.

I was already pretty much sold on the notion but Bill Thomasson flew up from Atlanta in his -10 and let me sit in his baby.. Wow.. It's perfect! This absolutely sold me.

This is exactly the right plane for me and my mission; Plus, I get to build it!

Awesome.

Working on adding an RV-10 section to my website and will be thorough on filming and documenting the process.

Welcome Jason.
Keep eating. You'll finish that elephant.

A good beginning is a half done nice to have you here Jason! When finished come to Nooo Yaack for a tour. An RV10 (Goodbye Girl) was visiting recently

Welcome! Next time we will get you (and maybe your wife) in the air.

Congrats!

Also, make sure when you're building your website, you can streamline the posting process as much as possible. Towards the end of the build, at least for me, the videos and documentation starts to take a back burner to getting the thing done. The easier the posting and video process, the more likely you are to keep up with it!

That being said, I'm about two weeks behind on posts and videos... I have some work to do...

Absolutely! I'm going through that process now of setting up my blog to have a second section that will be the build log.

Since my blog is based on jekyll its custom software that I can add my own plugins to that should make this easier =)

Just took delivery of my Emp kit.

I am a little unhappy with the shipper.. they beat up the box pretty good, but everything inside seems okay..

The big issue for me was that they shipped it on a semi-truck with no lift gate or any way to get it to the ground once it was at the house, nor even get it all the way to my house.

I had to go meet the guy down the road with my truck.. slide it off into the truck and then get it home that way..

Did they expect me to have a forklift at my house?

Any way its here now and tomorrow/over the weekend I begin the process of ensuring everything made it.
