RV-10 Plans
 
Thanks to Mark Ritter and N410MR I took my first flight ever in a Van's aircraft and it was in Mark's beautiful RV 10 based in Lockhart Texas. I am having trouble sitting still tonight because of the bug biting me. :) Anyway, I am curious as to why it is NA to buy a set of plans from Van's to look over them without buying a kit? I am probably just a few months away from pulling the trigger on an airplane although I honestly am still trying to decide which way to go, the RV 10 is WAY up on the list.

You can buy the preview plans without buying the kit. Check out http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/conmanul.htm for more info.

No Preview Plans for the RV-10
 
Preview plans are available for all RV's except the -10. The reasoning for this is somewhere on Van's site, but I can't seem to find it now. Something to do with the format of them.

You can find most (if not all) of the -10 plans on Tim Olson's site here (right side of the page, you'll have to click on the links for the different sub-kits)

Hope this helps!

I hope you took your wife along if you are married. Get the boss enthusiastic and you'll get what you want. :D

I got my wife helping with building my RV-10. She just loves to deburr, move clecos (with the pneumatic clecoer), vacuum the shop and she wants a full glass panel for the plane.

Did already say I married the perfect woman?

No, she didn't go but every trip through the TSA security maze and a ride on an RJ convinces her. She likes flying "small" airplanes.

Wow! Great site. I bookmarked it and will be doing a lot of reading. I fly for a living and one thing about that is I like pictures. I have to convert words into pictures for my mind to grasp. He has a great way with both. I can see having a lot of "advice" from many sources is the way to go. I just looked at your site also and it made the bookmark list. I live down in Round Rock so I will probably beg more info. later.
Thanks.

RV-10 Ride
 
Dan,

It's always fun giving a "first RV ride". Let's do it again sometime. Slowing down to 75 kts. on final versus 160 kts. you are use to had to be a different experience.

Anyone else thinking about an RV-10 and wants a first hand experience on how they fly shoot me an email and we'll make it happen.

Sections 1-5??
 
I own a set of -7 preview plans. My question: what is included in sections 1-5for the -10 - is it basically the same as the -7?
