Looking for RV-10 Partner in Northern NJ

[MElstien]

I am about to start a build of an RV-10 in Northern NJ and I would entertain a build/equity partner of any variation. I would entertain any equity arrangement.

If you are interested in building and flying an RV-10, lets talk and see if some arrangement can be worked out.

I am prepping my 4 car garage as we speak. Tables are purchased, lighting is under review, heating is being quoted and the family is accepting. I am on my way to Sun-n-Fun late this week and I might even purchase the empannage while down there.

Regards,

Well if you need a second set of hands just to help out I volunteer , please note I have no experience but will happily work as a grunt to gain some build experience.( The RV-14 has been on my mind lately but I need to get a pilots licence first!)

Juan,

I hate to rain on anyone's parade, especially somebody wanting to build a RV-10. I strongly suggest you talk to an insurance agent before you commit yourself to the build. Jenny at NationAir is a RV freindly agent and I'm sure she'll be happy to explain where you stand regarding insurance.

Typically it's next to impossible or extremely expensive for new pilots to insure a RV-10. The sweet spot for the RV-10 is 300 hours, IFR rating, and high performance sign off. I've heard of others getting insurance around 200 hours without the IFR, but you'll pay a premium penalty.

The good news is that it's going to take at least several years to build the RV-10, which gives you plenty of time to acquire the flying hours.

Mike,

I also sent you a PM. I'll be relocating to the N. NJ area, not far from where you are, in the next few months. While I've always dreamed of an -8, a -10 would be a great family truckster for me, the wife, and two kids.

Lets keep in touch over the next few months and get together when I'm in the area. I'm definitely interested.

No worries I was looking to help on a build so that I could learn about airplanes and get a better understanding of them. I had the same thought as you realistically I need at least 300 hours before I can transition to one of these birds. If I am able to get my ticket my plan is to progressively build time on the certified side then possibly transition to an RV.

Then again by the time the Pipistrel Panthera may be an option.

Just food for thought -- building and flying are almost mutally exclusive activities from both a time and a money perspective for many folks. I count myself amongst that crowd. Now there are exceptions -- there are folks who built with a PPL and then went on to learn in their own plane, but that's rare.

My advice would be continue to learn about E-AB aircraft like you're doing, but focus on getting your ticket. Then when you've got some hours under your belt, you can get serious about building and/or owership, if in fact that's what you want to. The old adage is if you want to build, build. If you want to fly, buy.

I have been interested in the Rv 10 for a while now.but just haven't any idea where to start. I live in Bergen county. Some what close to to you. I would be very interested in a partnership (possible) or definitely assisting
you in any way.
