And, in what seems like no time at all, the fuselage is joined (riveting will be done in a day or so) and it's on the gear. I'm doing things a bit out of order to facilitate my building needs and putting it on the gear early just seems to make sense for me.
I talked to Gary at Copperstate and work has started on my panel. Soon.

Well that would be extreme optimism Aycan but at least it starting to look like a plane

RV-10 builders appear to be somewhat younger than RV-12 builders.

41, wife, two children, desire to see the country while we still have the health and freedom to do so. Maybe a -12 later in life.

I think more than a few of us here on the forum basically have $100,000 playhouses sitting in the garage.

We just found out we're expecting our second RV-10 builder in June. He (I made sure it would be a boy) might cost some time in the short term but we'll figure out how to get along, live life together, and then finish the airplane together.
We just can't have any more airplane builders in the family because we've only got 4 seats and I'm not starting over!!!

Maybe we should start a new thread: Show us a picture of your RV building crew progress. 
Anyway, Phil, I'm impressed that you had time to build a P-51 while building the -10. Now, got any performance numbers?

I don't qualify for the repairman's certificate on the P-51. I exceeded the 51% minimum on it.
It's a very nice airplane though and was built by a friend of mine here in Houston. Top speed is 3 knots, but there is some static port error so I can't be completely confident in the numbers. |
