Empty CG is 109.38.

Maybe the second heaviest but not anywhere near my Chunky Monkey weighing in at 2053.

I will most likely stick with Van's recommended MTOW. 99% of our flying will just be the two of us, so useful load will be fine.

I finished my 10 last march and presently have 70 hours on it. I have never gotten around to posting Pix so here they are.

Well it looks much better than Georgia did playing Florida!

For those of you who haven't seen Gary's plane up close, let me tell you it's one of the best ones out there. The attention to little details is staggering, and perhaps the fact that he previously built a Grand Champion Glasair III has something to do with the impeccable fiberglass work, paint and finish. His is one of those planes you poke around and notice little things every time you look at it and say "why didn't I think of that"??! The interior is also one of the snazziest I've seen and been in. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that the plane is pretty damned nice in person, Gary won't tell you that so someone has to...

Cheers,
Stein

I am afraid that our Dawgs were lap dogs when we played Florida. Great flight down to the game, lousy game, nice flight back.

Don't have much to show it seems like, but here's what I was working on when the 1,000 man-hour milestone rolled by... wingtips on the QB wings.

I am a new RV10 builder and this is my first post here. I am currently working on the VS and have already completed the HS.



I have simple progress photos at www.iRV10.blogspot.com
