Congratulations!
That's a pretty quick build time for a -10!
Flying off grass the first time?
Best,

Congratulations on your first flight, I know the feeling as ours was less than a year ago.
Pierre
We flew ours off grass the first flight, but elected to land at the nearby asphalt municipal airport. We made numerous takeoffs and landings before returning to my grass strip.
This spring we managed to get the 10 out before it got too soft (barely) , inpreparation for our trip to Sun n Fun. We haven't got it back here yet due to soft conditions. Being new to the RV family of aircraft, we don't know it's capabilities with less than perfict grass field conditions and are cautioning on the good side. Other years, I have my amphibs on my SuperCub and the strip is great by now.

We have had bad weather in the past week and more to come in the coming days. Yesterday was the only beautiful day with calm wind. On Wednesday (day before yesterday) Cincy FSDO inspector braved thunderstorm and flood drove two hours to my hangar to inspect my plane. With all these what else can I ask for?
Originally I was planning to spend four years to build this airplane and sell it to my son at cost. Half way through the build I changed my mind. I am still willing to share with him  . I am sure that we will have many happy flying hours together.
Vlad, congratulation on finding a place for your 9A. We are already planning a trip for June. For now I am keeping its beautiful paint scheme. The picture is kind of misleading. My wife was taking the picture from the taxi way that is lower than the runway. From her angle the grass on the slope block the view of the runway surface. Here are more pictures and a few video clips. You will notice that I overshot on final and had to come back. The stall buzzer was on at times since it was not calibrated yet. I was doing more than 70 kts.

I pass on my title of "Newest RV-10 in the World" to you. I had it for 6 days.
I have the same paint scheme, white primer on top and shiny aluminum on bottom

Exactly 2 years for a slow-build 10? Even for a 2nd-time builder, that's amazing, Ted! Congrats!

Videos
First take off: 24 seconds
In the cockpit video: 10 min (entire first flight)
The entire build and first flight video: 9 min
Not the landing you want to imitate, but a landing I taxied away (better than walked away).

Ted,
Were you the former owner of a Comanche 250?
