Show us a picture of your RV-10 progress.

Recently, i was wondering what the difference was with the 15x600-6 vs 600-6. There is a 50% price difference.

Does anyone have specs on exactly what is difference between the two tires?

Background: I purchased the tail kit back in December from a builder who completed the vertical, horizontal, and rudder.

Within the last couple of weeks, I have started to see some actual hard work and progress coming together after nearly 4 months into the build. The elevators went together without any major snags. I got lucky with the trim tabs, they came out perfect and are currently curing. As the elevators were nearing completion, I had some random down time (usually due to poor planning, or disorganization), so I was able to get a start on the tail cone from time to time and am currently in the initial assembly stage.
I talked to Van's last month and they had a couple QB wings in stock, I knew it was a little ahead of schedule, but I wanted to beat their annual price jump. The wings showed up at my house a week ago, delivered by SAIA Trucking, and the crates had about 4 punctures from fork lifts from its journey across the country. But upon opening the crates, there was no damage to the wings or any components... So, that's when the "Smile" showed up! ... and I gotta say, the workmanship on my QB wings is outstanding!

So anyway, I will quit rambling now and show some pictures ...








P.S. I live by myself, so especially since the wings showed up, I am able to decorate nearly every corner of my house with airplane parts Be jealous

March 23rd 2013 was my anniversary for starting my RV-10. I thought I would give a "tour" around my shop to show where I'm at in the build.

For more detailed stats on times etc see my blog.
Enjoy

The following are pictures of all the parts I have completed in one year or are still in work. A tour around the shop!



Fuselage on top of stand. Taicone stored on top of fuselage. LH Fuel tank stored under fuselage. Bottom wing skins on LH side of picture in storage.



RH Fuel tank in work.


LH Wing waiting to moved to stand after RH wing top skin is finished being riveted.


RH wing on stand waiting to finish riveting. Notice harware bins to left side of picture, very handy.


Vertical Stabilizer, Rudder, Elevators in storage. Hardware bags and lists layed out on top for convenience. Stairs to loft on right side of pic.


Horizontal Stabilizer stored on loft. Canopy stored up on the loft waiting to be used, along with many other piece parts.


Panoramic view (makes it look huge) showing the crowded workshop. When the wings are completed they will be moved to the loft and the shop will be rearranged to gain a lot more space.


A normal picture just to put the scale of the shop in perspective.


My other joy that arrived in Dec of 2012. She is now 3 months old and a tiny 10lbs.

Beautiful shop (and kid!)

That reminds me that I really need to clean my garage up. It's getting pretty cluttered up since the never-ending winter began!

Thanks Ed. You're making good progress as well I see.

I also wanted to note on the previous post I had 587.25 hrs over last year.

I am so happy! Yesterday I did run my engine for the first time. Its a TMXIO-540 powering an MTV-12-B prop. Everything worked as expected and all engine instruments worked perfectly.
