Excellent job Randy! Been following your site. You have me thinking that an RV-3 might be in my future... with the RV-10 in the family, it might be nice to have something fun for me.

Congratulations Randy! I continue to check the RV-3 works frequently for inspiration for my "After the RV-9A project"! N223RL is one beautiful airplane!

Congratulations, Randy! I've also been a regular visitor to your RV-3 site, following along as you were building. It's a real beauty, and thanks for the new desktop inspiration!

Default Congratulations!

Randy,

Congratulations on the first flight. I wish I could have stuck it out on my RV-3B project, but it wasn't in the cards. I haven't given up the idea of an RV in my future, though.

I read the information on your site about empty weight. I knew yours would tip the scales a little because of all the goodies you were installing, but that figure even suprised me. I think I would have had a problem with the weight unless I built it bare bones.

Ken

Great job Randy! I was lucky to be a Van's on last Thursday and get to see it up close. The workmanship looked great to me. Way to go!

Randy, I really like you interior and Panel colors.
What type of paint did you use to finish it.
Nice Website by the way.
Thanks
