Dear Oshkosh attendees,

as done last year, I am beginning to organize Show and Tell session where owners / builders of RV-10s invite other RV-10 builders / owners to come by at a certain time to ask questions and hear the build story. We had maybe 5 sessions with between 3 and 10 people showing up.

Last year was organized by a manually maintained Google Sheet. It was really hard to get position links into the sheet for on-site navigation to the parking position.
For this year, I wrote a little app called "PlaneTour" in the hope to get more sessions! Please sign up if you are flying to OSH with your RV-10 as soon as the app is online.


It's for iPhones/iPads but I am working on a web based form to suit other phone makes. If someone wants to quickly make an Android version, I can supply the json APIs of the backend. The map library is from MapBox which is also available for Android.



Right now it's in the queue at the Apple App Store. I'll post here once it's live.

The instructions are on the Wiki:

Please install it if you are going to Oshkosh and share RV10 locations and other interesting places.
If you are flying an RV-10 to Oshkosh, please consider offering a Show and Tell session for us fellow builders!

  • Private pins can be created that are not visible to others (stored encrypted on the rv10.org server and only the one who created it can decrypt them on the device).
  • Pins in the list have different background colors depending on whether they are created by others (white), created by the user (teal), or created by the user and private (red).
