5/21/06 - We had a fun time!  (81) RVs were counted.  Alex DeDominicis brought his 24hrs-out-of-the-paint-shop RV-10 Transition Trainer (0-8).  Note the air conditioning scoop (8) and bench back seat (5).  Martin and Claudia Sutter brought their BEAUTIFUL RV-7A, complete with one of Luke's Classic Aero Designs interiors and a panel that is beyond art (9-10).  Don Crum demonstrated his new RV jack system (18-22).  His email is (dcsr at texasairnet.com and they are $129).  I loved Rick Freeman's simple and effective tail wheel chock (27).  Stu and the gang showed up for some nice formation passes (32-35).  That's Jay Pratt and Rick Freeman in (36).  Rich Rudolph (37).  Andy Duff's RV-4 cockpit (38-39).  Clay and Don doing the essentials in (46) and yours truly flying Alex's RV-10 from the left seat (52) - image taken by Alex.  My first time piloting a RV-10!  It felt kinda like flying my RV-6...only in syrup.  Heavier stick forces and slower responsiveness in all axis than I'm used to, but it felt somewhat familiar and was a creampuff in both the takeoff and landing phases.  He has one of AFS's AOA indicators in the panel (so do I), so I think that attributed to my easier-than-expected landing.  I suspect all building a RV-10 will be pleasantly surprised.  Thanks to everyone that came out and to all who helped organize and pull off the day.  See you next year!!!    dr
