I don't think anyone has adequately addressed your "question" yet.

Starting a -10

1: Master on
2: Alt field on
3: mixture rich
4:

Keep a sense of humor while you build and enjoy the journey.
You're in great company.

James McClow - a blast from the past indeed!!

Welcome back to fray. Any thoughts of another website - I missed the live web cam

Building is like riding a bike - you never really forget how, or how much you enjoy it.

Hey Ron it has been a while. Thanks for the welcome...

We have a small site built but nothing really on it yet. It is the same domain from years ago rv10builder.com and mcclowsrv10.com. The mcclowsrv10.com is like a Pinterest site for just some pics and posts. well use it to post build photos along the way. I will be posting my logs on kit log so I can print them for a binder. Just going to focus on the build

I have a found a few finished emps and wing kits for sale on Barnstormers but really want to build fresh. We went with a fresh new serial number. I am amazed that the -10's are up to 41420 . 1420 kits sold. Atleast emps anyway.

Looking forward to fulfilling the dream ive had for years of building and flying the "McClows RV -10"

Not planning on a cam. Just planning to keep my head in the foxhole to complete the build.

Congrats on your -10!! Happy for you.

Jimmy Mac! Glad to see you're still around....looks like the wife has had some major work done! Look forward to seeing your posts!!

Welcome aboard....or back! I've been building for almost a year now and I couldn't imagine having to sell my project. Heart breaking I'm sure.

Congrats on the new start!

Great to hear about another start. My wife and I built a -10 three years ago. It was great fun and we hope to be there at sun n fun as well. Like many others we populated a website for our documentation and others to see. We are not great website people and we haven't updated it for a bit but feel free to check it out.

@ricks - Yes, good changes. I was divorced in 2010. Remarried in 2012. All is great, business is good, kids are all great and looking forward to getting started!!

Thanks for the welcome, Rick! Congrats on the completion of yours!!

@J Twilbeck Yes indeed, it was a rough time but God is good and Zeni & I are excited to be able to push forward together on the project. Thanks for the welcome!! I have been checking out your blog over the past few months. Congrats on the little one and love the workshop!!

@Bart I have been looking at your site over the past few months. It was one of the first I started looking at when I went back to researching the build again. It stood out to me because I did a project in Farmington Maine a few years back on a waste water plant and remembered how cold it was that winter. I lived in Laconia NH at that time. Congrats on your project!!

Better late then never for me! UPS Says my tool order will be here tomorrow!!
