Is there an area where the ten guys park or get together? I'm coming in on Wednesday and was hoping to meet some of you and check out the planes. I'm there until Sunday morning.
Sort of, but by Wednesday, anything is fair game.
Usually, the north side of the taxi way ( the old red parking lot) is where they start parking the RV-10s in HBP. They do their best to keep all the RV-10s together. Some years the other HBP areas fill up, in which the RV-10 area is used as over flow parking.
On the south side f the taxiway is HBC. Since it's the camping area for all, parking is on a first come basis. So there are many RV-10s (mine will be in HBC) mixed in with all the other experimentals,
So most of the RV-10s are parked fairly close together.
The disadvantage you are going to have, is that many RVers come in the weekend before and leave on Wednesday or Thursday. For example, I'm leaving on Thursday morning.
The best place to find RV-10 builders will be around their planes or campsite. If you are interested in talking with a specific builder, it's best to coordinate a meeting time via email in advance. Many of us will be at the potluck on Sunday or the Van's dinner on Tuesday, but that doesn't help you with a Wednesday arrival.
Many vendors fly RV-10s, so finding them at their booth is a little easier. Advanced Flight Systems, Aerosport Products, TCWtech, and Trutrak usually fly ther RV-10s. Aerosport Products doesn't have a booth, but you probably can catch Geoff or Zac near their RV-10.
