This is just about to get real...
My RV-10 tail and wing kits arrive tomorrow, so I guess this is no longer a fantasy and my wife and I are actually going to start building a plane. I've been a lurker on this site for years and been looking at the 10 since they first introduced it, everything has finally aligned and I guess this is going to be a reality! We're both excited and apprehensive, I keep thinking what have I gotten myself into.
I'm sure I'll be much more of an active participant here over the next 5 to XX number of years. I'm glad there is a great community out here for RV builders.

Lynn, Welcome to VAF! I know how you feel... the "what have I gotten myself into" part! You'll think that a few more times before you're done, but there will be more than enough "Let's get this thing done so we can FLY" along the way too.

Thanks for welcoming us. I sure hope my wife is in on this, she's the pilot in the family so it's really going to be her plane, I'm just a builder looking to relax in the back while I get flown around.

small moves
Alright Lynn and Heather! We're excited for you guys to "join the family". It's a long road but one that is very rewarding, fun and frustrating at times. First comes the joy of inventorying parts  If you guys need any help give us a call!

Congratulations
Congratulations Lynn
I think most of us go through that wishing stage before actually pounding rivets. I know I wished for years before my planets aligned. You will forever be changed by the project and make many new friends. This is an incredible community.
Welcome.
