Anyone in Reno, NV?

I am just beginning my RV-10 empennage and was wondering if there is anyone in the area currently building an RV of any kind? I would like to drop on by and see your build, ask some questions and maybe help on your building tasks. If not, we need to have some builders post more youtube videos on how to deburr, dimple, countersink, match drill, cleco and rivet. Videos are the BEST to learn from. Thanks.

Meet the Reno (and places further flung) RV community at R3: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ad.php?t=75442

Andrew,

A bunch of us are continuing to build, even though we are already flying! As Sig said, there are about a dozen RVs at Stead (RTS). Pop me a PM with your email if you want to come visit the field and talk RV. Yours would be the first 10 that I am aware of. Otherwise, we have most every other flavor.

cheers,
greg

Hey Andrew,

I'm another one of the Reno RV'ers, and like Greg said we may have flying airplanes, but I don't know that your ever done building, and we have all been there done that. You will also love that airplane as I know it is a lot like the rest of them.

I'm sure we will be meeting soon.

There are a bunch of you! Love it. Please blast me an email at hamm (underscore) dog (at) hotmail (dawt) com when you guys meet up. I would LOVE to come out, see your planes and pick your brains!

Sincerely,

Yep, me too. I live in hangar MA7 on the far West end. Check the posts for yesterday and you will see one about R3 BBQ on Saturday during the race week. It is my hangar that the arrow is pointing to. Please come by and chat, but you should know you have to drink beer and tell lies to be accepted. Dan

Thanks for the invite! I don't really have any good lies and my drinking skills were never that great. BUT, I know how to have a good time! I'll try to come on out that Saturday.

I hope your knowledge and building skills are as high as your friendliness!

I'm thinking of coming for the races....would it be OK to talk about 41 years of ag work and stories...tall ones?

Best,

Only if you fly your RV-10 in so I can sit in it.

Ha ha.
