We have been finished for a month and now have 50 hours up, and I see this thread has been quiet for some time so here is a few pics plus some Youtube video, which I did post on the video thread, but worth posting here also for anyone who missed it.
So here is our DASH TEN........and with special credit to my plane parter Chris who managed to miss out on mile of wiring, for the pleasure of bucking more rivets than I care to remember and our supervisor and helper Col the Critter, probaly Australia's leading RV building guru and fearless test pilot....and approved as one too!
So here goes! After 8.5 months of work.... (and we do have a day job).
Brian was kind enough to deliver the DRDT-2 I bought from him. Having seen the plane up close it looks like a champion to me! ---In a few years you'll be ready to build a 7 or 8 and I 'll stand by my promise to sell the DRDT-2 back to you!
My RV-10 is S/N 40001, started in Nov 2003, first flown in Jan 2008,
but not "finished" until it came out of the paint shop in March 2009.
Paint is by Craig Roberts and John Stahr in Aurora, Oregon. Photo
credits to Brian Hickman, photo ship piloted by Rob.
(Yes, I have an AFS 3500 in the panel!).
Cannot seem to post this properly. Flew the first flight in the previous pic about 4 weeks ago. No problems. Good temps and handsoff. New IO 540, 3 blade MT, Advanced 4500, RV10 Trutrak, 430w and KX 155. Flies coupled ILS and GPS approach.
4th build...Avid Flyer, DR109 aerobatic hot rod and Glastar. RV 10 is best.
and our supervisor and helper Col the Critter, probaly Australia's leading RV building guru and fearless test pilot....and approved as one too!
