Mike,
Good job! I saw pics of your move to the airport. That must have been a big day for you and your wife. I hope to start building my own RV-10 soon and I'm very excited seeing you pics. Good luck with your Phase I!

You plan all the hard work for Oct and March when you live in Houston. I've been holding out on fitting the cabin top for the majority of the summer. Now that the temperature and humidity are getting perfect I am getting the dirty work done.
I'm doing just a little bit of work every evening until I get it to fit. This is tonight's status.....
Getting closer.
Phil

good progress
Phil,
That cabin top is a lot of fitting and trying on.
It really is a lot of work to get it to fit properly.
Make sure you finish the inside of the cabin before grafting it to the "boat"
Keep it up.

Looking good..
Phil,
Nice pics of your bird/boat in its current state. We really need to keep up the postings of RV-10'rs in order to keep up the activity levels on VAF. I've heard from a lot of people that the majority of RV-10 builders spend they're time on Matronics, but I prefer the VAF site for its ease of use. We just need more RV-10 content.
Besides, with pics like that, it's certainly motivating for aspiring 10 builders like me! Keep up the good work..
Mike

Wings on
Here are a few shots of the current status of the final assembly.
Wing all hooked up, flaps and ailerons and wiring etc, even the tip.
More of same, tail feathers go on tomorrow (Still working on the VTOL feature, C/G issues right now.)
A little bit of inspiration from the local Chinese eatery.

Looking nice Rudi.
Having seen your build when I was last in SA I had a little despair with how much was left to do. But I have kept going and now the front fuselage is complete with most of the systems and controls in. Holding off on joining the tailcone because I don't quite have your excellent build facilities. My wife is not keen on the necessary temporary extension to the garage until the last possible moment 
Back in SA later in the month - off to Hazyview again.

Fridays work.
Got the tail on today.
Close up of the rudder trim.
Amazing how installing 17 bolts can take two people all day.
