Yes Ted it will be the best Christmas ever! Thank you again for the RV-9A flying and allowing me help you buck some rivets on your 10. Can't wait to buck some more(maybe fuel tanks),as I may need a little help one day soon. I have been in touch with Jim in Lexington since 2005 and looking forward to going up in his 10. I had a busy heating/air week when Bob from Columbus had an EAA meeting at his house. I will try to come up Bob when things slow down a little and before Partain(Santa) brings me 1750 lbs of crates with a big red bows. You guys all have kept me motivated while crawling through wet nasty crawlspaces and 150F attics to fix heating and air systems. Even as busy as these last nine yrs have been with the hatching of two children, building a house from a set of plans and 9 books, starting an hvac business in 2001 with a 1/2 ton p/u and little money, starting private pilot training exactly one year ago from the day I ordered the 10 and finishing Oct 14th...I have had a little time to read VAF, Matronics, Tim's Site and OHV RVATORS. I have learned alot on here...100 different opinions on one subject. Sometimes very confusing. There is not only an RV10 but a 10A, 10B, 10C...and so on with a gazillion high dollar modifications everyone makes to their own planes. I know that is what makes them "our" unique plane. I love the building part, but I want to get into the air as quickly as possible and not spend more than what my house is worth doing it. My family loves flying and also looks forward to the day we can fly our 10 to Niagra, Mt. Hood, Grand Canyon, Key West, Bahamas, Canada and Alaska. I want to thank all of you guys(local and far away) for the "rv encyclopedias on the net" and for helping a newbe get started. I hope to see many of you in the air or at a fly-in down the road. I'll be the one with the big rv grin. Probably not the only one though.
