Thanks! People keep saying I'm building fast, but it feels so slow, it's been over two years now! I'm always too excited about the next step. I can't wait to hang the engine!

Thanks for the shop comments as well. It was a lot of fun designing and building it. It took me all summer one year to build it. Completely designed with the airplane in mind.

Brian, ....that's funny, I would have loved to see the expression on your face when the guy asked that question. Priceless.

Zac,
I thought the pics were awesome. The parts are looking incredible, exactly what I envisioned while I was designing them, you guys do really great work! I can't wait to see them in person.....very excited!

Ed, ......yeah.....not cool man, not cool.

P.S. The door entry problem is being resolved.

She's kind of going through this ugly duckling phase right now, but I'm still proud!

Won't be long now and I can order the last kit from Van's...Firewall Forward!

Oh man! If I had a shop like that I'd never want to leave! That wouldn't go over well with my wife or work. Very nice!

Got the aircraft back from the paint shop about a week ago and have it about 2/3rds re-built. Picked up the graphics yesterday and my paint guys fitted one of the side flashes today - 20 feet long!

Paint is Matterhorn White.



My aircraft is now officially "Groovy"

I think I can officially claim to be an RV-10 builder now. Learning interesting new things at every step, not happy with my deburring skills yet and nervous about the first priming batch. Still, lots of fun so far, and 'm glad the girls are excited when I ask for help.

Way to get the fam involved.

Welcome to the asylum.

Awesome Aki, well done! About 35 hours or so we'll do the formation endo :-)

I started working on the Empanage on June 10, 2012. After many hours of solitary work, after a lot of help from my friends, after many hours searching and reading the forums on The VAF website, and after spending more money than I thought I would.....today was the day to pull it out of the hangar and see if the engine would start. What a thrill to turn the key and have the engine fire up.

All of the Dynon instrumentation worked great. The mag check went well, good oil pressure and the prop cycled properly. Only problem was one small oil leak.

With any luck I should have the FSDO inspector in to look at it in 3 to 4 weeks.

Congrats Alan! That's a fast completion time for a -10. You'll be flying in no time! Enjoy Phase 1. I have been in it for about 9 hours and it still amazes me that I get to do this.

Congrats Alan! That's a fast completion time for a -10.

Nahhh c'mon we built one in 8.5 months......and I went to work every day too, but there was a co builder.

Great work though ...... more pics please, and it is not finished yet. Unpainted. Long way to go yet.
