Post Sun N Fun

Wow, what a week.  Got back yesterday from Sun N Fun and awaiting the delivery of my Empennage Kit.  First off I had a blast at Sun N Fun.  I ended up spending most of my time over in the Workshop area learning a whole bunch of new techniques (Not all of them pertain to my RV-10).  Really didn’t walk away thinking I was doing anything really wrong on my practice kit, but got some tips on how to maybe make some of my things better.  Also realized that even some of the small dings will disappear when painted.

Learned a lot at the Electrical workshops, even if I won’t apply a lot of those things for a while.

Vendors booths were kinda crazy!  Tons to see.  I really didn’t even know what questions to ask or which vendors I needed to talk to.  The parts booths were amazing.  I’m sure I’ll be bringing a a shopping list next year!

The only down-side was the e-mail I got this morning letting me know the RV-10 was flown back to Oregon after Sun N Fun so I will not be able to take a DEMO flight.  This is very disappointing as I didn’t even take the time to sit in it while at Sun N Fun since I was scheduled to fly it on Wed.  Oh well.  Life happens so this means I’ll just have to work on my Empennage on Wed instead!

Off to Sun N’ Fun

Off to experience Sun N’ Fun. I’m excited to meet a bunch of rv builders as well as learning everything I can that may help my build. Also got the call from the shipping company. Delivery of my kit is scheduled for Monday. Looks like I’m going to have a very exciting 2 weeks of fun.  Hopefully my wife doesn’t leave me!  

Decided to post an intro on the VAF site and already have a lot of feedback. Besides my cousin, also have a few other A&Ps that are interested in coming over. Can’t beat that!  Even had my post make it to the front page (even with a small autocorrect error. Oh well). 

Hopefully I have everything I need to get through the first half of the empennage kit and will do my best to take lots of photos. Debating doing the whole YouTube thing like Jason Ellis, or just a time lapse.   I may give YouTube a shot but sure I’ll feel like a fool doing it.
