Getting a look at a 10 near Chicago
I'm a 182 pilot near Chicago thinking of moving towards a RV-10.
Thing is, I'm on the tall side and would like to get a close up look at one before taking the next step. Anyone in the area have a -10 I could see sometime?
Thanks in advance,
Russ

Russ,
I'm building a -10 in Naperville, close to finishing with a complete interior. You're welcome to stop by and try it on for size.

RV10 roominess
I moved to a 10 from a 182 after 20yrs of ownership and the 10 has as much if not more head & leg room. I am 6'1"" & 210lbs.
Just a data point.

Thanks for the tips
Thanks for the tips, gents.
It would be great to get a peek at your -10 sometime, Paddy. I live in the western burbs myself so a drive out to Naperville is easily done.
I'll send you a PM.

Thanks for your hospitality
Paddy
Thanks for showing me your -10! It's going to be an incredible plane when it's done...
I learned a lot as well. I have less than an inch of clearance from the roof, and I have to decide how much of a problem that is...

Too tall
I'm 6-4 -230 and I fly a lot of long cross country in the -10 without any problems.

Can you vary the seat height by installing thinner cushions during the build?
