It is indeed! We thought it could be tweaked and improved in a number of ways. I think we wound up with a scheme that compliments the RV10 very nicely.

I flew a ton yesterday and I am finding I am a few knots faster than before paint - mostly because of improve body work under the paint. At 75% power, 6000' I am seeing about 178 Knots on average.

Here is a shot while at 72% power, so a little lower on power and a couple of knots slower:
