Show us a picture of your RV-10 progress.

This sort of news and picture ALWAYS makes me tingle with joy!

Then again, I remember looking skyward as a toddler, the first time I ever saw an airplane fly...a lifelong obsession.

Congratulations to both of you.

Best,

Yes she usually deserves credit for anything that turns out looking great on the project. I'm clinging to my one good photo though, thats why I ran and posted it on here so fast lol.

Ready except no doors attached in that shot. We're bringing T-top style back into fashion! haha

Why? Did you lose a bet?

That's really coming along. I'm jealous of your progress.

After 1200 hours my fuselage kit is now "complete" the same day that my finishing kit arrived. I have not riveted the upper forward fuselage as I have not started any of my electrical system. Timing could not have been better as I was just finishing up a last coat of clearcoat on my aerosport panel when the truck pulled up to deliver my finishing kit.

I know I am only about 1/2 done, but after watching Brian and Brandi get thier pink slip I am highly motivated to pound (sand) out my finishing kit and get the plane flying.

Hang on to that motivation! It'll help you push through the doors.

Call Brian if you need a hand.

You're on the downward stretch. You're half way done. Just remember that while some of the tasks may seem overwhelming, just focus on the next tasks, not the rest of the project. You'll get through it. I feared the finish kit, but know that I'm past it, both my wife and I have acquired many new fiberglass skills.

Leave the upper fuselage assembly off until you are ready to glass in the windscreen. You can take it on and off, even with the cabin cover in place. This will greatly reudce the amount of time you'll need to spend under the panel. I wired my entire panel on the dining room table durng the winter this past year. Much nicer than working in the hangar.

That's the plan.... Now I just have to decide what EFIS I am going to go with, then I can start the wireing Oshkosh is going to be VERY expensive this year. (Engine, and Avionics)
