Fresh out of paint
Today I had the pleasure of rolling out my RV-10 from the paint shop. She started right up and it was great to get back to the air after all these months.
I worked with the painter on this from start to finish and his expertise was invaluable. But I am also glad I spent as much time hands on as I did as I am much more aware of how to maintain this beauty now. BEFORE: ![]() AFTER: ![]() ![]() ![]() |
looks nice. That chord on that prop is wide :eek:
|
WOW
I have sneaked a peak yesterday in Craig's paint shop. And Mark's -10 is fabulous! I can only guess that out in the light it is even better. Great job on the design and colors! Well worth the wait...
Now, let's go flying! |
Looks GREAT!
|
Beautiful plane!
|
Nice job. Going to check mine out in the shop tomorrow :D
|
Wow!
Mark.....it's a beautiful signature on the work of art! Nice airplane:)
|
Mark - a beautife airplane and a stunning scheme. A total class act !
|
That is awesome. Wow nice work
|
I love the colors, great job.
|
That ought to add at least 10 knots.
Looks great! Looking forward to seeing it as OSH. bob |
That is sharp!! I really like the color combo. Really makes that 3-blade Hartzell pop!!
|
Where did you have it painted, Charlie. I will be looking for a painter after I fly off my 40 hours.
|
Very nice Mark!
|
Sweeeeeeeeeet
Awesome Mark I love the paint scheme |
Slick paint job. Can't wait to see it in person in the sunlight of OSH. Are either of the red or gray metallic?
|
Eye Popping
:eek: Very NICE!

Congrats!
Mark,
She is a BEAUT! Excellent scheme, and I love the look of those paddles out front! |
All I can say is WOW! Great scheme! Love it!
|
krylon was it?
To echo Bob it's 10 knots faster now just sitting there! Looks great Mark. Can't wait to see in person.
|
Mark, what kind of cruise performance numbers are you getting with the new wide chord Hartzell prop? I wonder how much of a difference it makes. There was recently an article in one of the aviation magazines that talked about the reasoning behind the wide chords. It was an interesting read.
|
Beauty!
That 's a Beauty!
Great paint scheme and a great painter. Hope to meet you in person, maybe in OSH this year. |
is this where you got the idea?

what makes a great paint job?
That is great...borrowed or not!
One thing I notice is that there are NO straight lines! Not that it can't look good with a nice long 'waterline', but it really makes the -10 look even more like a curvy composite ship! |

I love the flow of the multiple lines on the lower part of the aircraft. |
Absolutely gorgeous Charlie!
|
Beautiful job, been following it on your blog. Glad the flight went well too!
|
Congrats
Mark,
looks great! |

Here is a shot while at 72% power, so a little lower on power and a couple of knots slower: ![]() |
