After three weeks of surveying interest, I think it's safe to conclude there is almost no interest in the proposed RVers area at Camp Scholler during...
I won't be camping but will be using a timeshare at the Wisconsin Dells and making the 1-1/4 hour commute to Oshkosh. I would like to come by your camp and...
Bob, I am sort of stuck across the street from you next to the Camper Locator Shack, I volunteer in the 24 hour generator area, but I would be more than...
In case any of you are flying around OK this weekend.......Chances are if he is this close he could end up visiting Crawford too... Be careful out there. ... ...

Bob, same as Glen. I usually arrive 3 or 4 days prior to the start, I work on the flight line but in between can help with tent etc. Just let me know when....
I have the teak gribs from Vans. They are too tight to slip on the control sticks. I don't think a drill bit is the right tool to use to get them to size....
Try a Dremel with the drum sanding attachment. I have used the cable attachment but I am not sure. It you don't have a Dremel, mount a large drill bit in your...
Just a shot, but it's possible you ordered the one for the passenger stick by mistake. The sticks are different diameters. The pilot side is 1" and the...

I've been remiss in not reposting some of the messages on the SoCal RV list. As you may or may not know, Ron Russell of Independence Oregon was killed during...
John, I just had the same experience. I took a small broom stick and cut a 8 inch piece off. Used Drill press / lathe to turn it down to slightly less than...
Guys - Just got engraved parts back from Bill Esther (www.rvengravign.com), and thought you guys would like to see the results. I've heard folks say great...
... Bob I'll be there in Camp Scholler from about the 17th or so through the Tuesday after the show. I'll try to get a spot near you guys. It's my first time...
You could probably show up the day of the show and still get a spot where we'll be. The 17th? You'll have your pick of the field.. and could probably get a lot...
In anticipation of an article -- or short blurb -- in the RV Builder's Hotline -- I'd like to ask those who are flying their RVs -- or who are at least well...
My .02..... I would try to do more towards Vans standard method in order to take advantage of more of their prefabricated parts. Also, every mod that a builder...

For the family of Ron Russell ; Please know that RV builders consider this a big family, and as such we feel the loss when a family member falls. You have our...
One thing - when making the forward elevator pushrod, don't rivet the ends in right away. Slide them in place and do a trial fit to get it in the tunnel....
... and ... Those both look great Garrett. I didn't know he was engraving fuel selector plates. That's a great idea. It looks like your fuel caps have white...
... Since we're talking about the teak grips, how are people securing them to the stick? I don't want anything permanent, in case I need to replace a switch...
I riveted mine and then installed it in the fuse. It was really difficult to get in, but after some strugglin' and cussin' it did go in. One thing I worry...
Dave - White wasn't an option that was on the website, but you can request other colors - I suspect he'll be more than happy to oblige as long as you don't...
We were able to get this in okay as long as we pulled the rod end bearings off before we tried to put it in - otherwise, Dan's right, it's completely...
I think I probably would not put so much energy into documentation. When I started construction, the idea of building a Dan Checkoway-like website to document...
I would do the fairing work as it came up, rather than putting it off until the end. I was trying to get the thing flying as quickly as possible, but when it...
