I had read that family support or lack thereof was critical to the success of the project. I wanted (needed) to draw the wife into the project early ...
so ...
7/30 is the wife's birthday
The 'RV' in the tail number was a must for me .
For our RV-10 I had reserved 109LB which had a 10 in it, wife and I were married September 10th so 9/10, our names Lene & Ben. But... I forgot to re-reserve it one year an the number ended up on a hot air balloon "Lindstrad Balloons" but now is on a helicopter.
Next choice, since I'm on the 8 year plan headed for 10 years to finish the RV-10 we've added 2 young members to the family so I now have reserved N104EE which works out as "10 for Elyse and Eli" and I cannot wait to hear the jokes on the radio "Experimental 4 Echo Echo (Echo Echo)"
I recently reserved mine. 927 was my late father's lucky number. What is the process for renewing the reservation? Do they send any kind of reminder?
Check wherever you check for such things, but I was taught that the phonetic pronunciation of 4 is two syllables, the same as it was in the south where I grew up: fow-er.
Live and learn - I guess I've been doing my "fours" wrong...
And my PAP-AH's, VIK-TAW's and YANK-KEY's were wrong too...
Like others - My anniversary. That way I never forget my N Number!
How could I possibly forget my anniversary!
I've noticed that a lot of builders, including myself, have reserved N-numbers early in the project life cycle.
What is your N-number and why did you pick it?
(Can you tell I'm still stuck in a hotel in Dallas and can't drive rivets?)
N941WR
That should be simple. It's an RV-9 for one William Repucci. Also, my drink of choice is whiskey, so the one Whiskey Romeo thing works too.
