Default N556G is Airborne!
So happy to announce that our RV-10 is airborne! August 27th was the official first flight date. My dad, Lynn Gooch, and I spent 3 years and 8 months on the project. It was worth every minute of it. This thing is awesome. It flies great, it's comfortable and it's fast. It's the perfect family machine. Equipped with custom air conditioning, Garmin 430, KX-155, MGL Voyager with MGL autopilot servos, dual Tosten grips with aileron and rudder trim, panel-mounted Ipad and a 250hp Lycoming O-540. I want to thank all the folks who post on this website for creating such a vast knowledge base. Thanks to both of my parents for supporting this project from day 1. Thanks to God for giving us the means to accomplish this goal.

Merry Christmas,
Joel Gooch
N556G

Congratulations Joel!
Beautiful looking example. My dad and I built ours, and I agree, it was worth all the time it took and all the time we spent together. Have fun with your phase 1.
Bill

You're close Pierre...49.5. And David, good guess as well, we were taking a pre-takeoff photo-op.

Scott,
We really like the MGL. Some of the latest updates have made it much easier to operate with an external nav source like a Garmin 430. The integrated autopilot is very nice and gets better with each update. The synthetic vision makes flying instrument approaches easy. I usually leave my engine page with a synthetic vision background and flight instruments up as my main page and use the Ipad as my moving map. The MGL maps are probably my least favorite thing about the efis. Overall, I'm very happy With the product.

Joel
