Welcome to the Welcome Winter Flying The Sacramento RVators are an informal group of people in Northern Californians interested in Van's RV series of aircraft and Harmon / F1 Rockets. We get together about once a month, usually at a members hangar or home, to look over their project. We currently have 96 members, most of which are located in and around the Sacramento area. However, We have members as far south as Stockton and as far north as Red Bluff. We have 46 flying RV's in the club. This web site is a supplement to our monthly newsletter. The intent is to have a place to store information from the newsletter that may be of interest to future builders and a method of communicating with the group on a ongoing basis. If you are interested in joining our group, go to the membership page and download an application. I would like more input from the group. Please send me your digital pictures with notes. Anything about your aircraft, flight plans, experiences. Also, If you have ideas to make this site more than it is currently, please let me know...If you have multiple pictures, please send me a link to any photo storage site, ie. Kodak.com, www.flickr.com or others. Just upload your photos and pass the link on to me and I will take it from there.. Dave

Next Meeting The next meeting will be hosted by several of us at the Nut Tree on Saturday June 6th, starting at 11:00 a.m. Lunch will start about noon. It will be in one of the hangars, second row from the runway, on the runway side, southeast end of the airport. If you fly in, taxi between hangars on the “20” end of the airport and turn left between the first and second row of hangars. When leaving, if the end hangar (freeway side) door is open, please turn left and then make a 180, so as not to blow dust into the open hangar (it is the one with the P-51 inside). If you drive in, park in the lot by the administration building and walk through the personal gate southeast side of the parking lot (comb 1215) and continue to the taxi way between the hangars, turn right and then left between the first and second row of hangars. May Weather Not Enough to Cancel for SACRVator May 2009 Well the weather was not great, but we had a decent turnout regardless. Paul Kellas and Gretchen flew their RV-9A in from Cameron Park and several others drove in. As usual Frank Storm and Paula put on a great lunch with BBQ Tri-Tip and the fixings. Also thanks to the cook Phil Clevenger who slaved over the BBQ. Thanks Frank and Paula for hosting this event.
March Meeting a Big Success The meeting was great. 10 RV’s flew in and a good number of members drove in. Thanks to our hosts Dave Holman and his wife Jamie for providing BBQ Tri-Tip and Chicken plus all the fixings. The weather couldn’t have been better. Dave’s RV-7 is looking great and may be flying this summer.
February Meeting Wow! What a turn out. We had 18 RV’s show up of which 4 were RV-10’s. Kerry Richburg weighed 4 airplanes including Don’s. Dan Mauer gave a great talk on painting aircraft and answered many questions. We enjoyed checking out Don’s beautiful RV-10 which is getting close to certification. Thanks Don & Kim McDonald for hosting the meeting and feeding the roughly 50 people who showed up.
