I don't know about the -10, but there have been a few on the 2 seat RV's. One of the issues of the install some modification of the cowl to accomidate the McCauley's nice BIG spinner. I think it's an inch or two bigger in diameter than Van's. I'd imagine you could get Van's to fit with some work however.

I considered one which is still available locally. It came out of a Piper Arrow. I passed on it even at $3500 because it weighed 71 pounds.

This one is fairly light for a 3 blade, I am just worried about vibration issues with prop/airframe... ect.
