Congratulations to Kenneth on his new RV-10! He writes:
I started the build in December 2018 as I retired from the electrical contracting industry and spent ever day over the last 4+ years working on the build. A heartfelt Thanks to my good friend Stuart who has been with me throughout the build. I went for the quick build fuselage and wing kits, which I estimated saved me at least 2 years build time. We found the plans to be comprehensive and easy to follow the technical team were excellent on the few occasions that we got stuck.

5 cent lollipop to the old guy from 'Bama !!!!

Another guy discussed this with me today and while the first flight went well, we had a lot of shimmy on the landings. Sure enough, the nut wasn't done up enough and the pull force insufficient.

Quickly resolved and lo.... the ball is now centered... !

Fly off went well, usual things with high cht's, minor snags, nothing desperate. Ken has built a stunning aeroplane in almost record time, we now await the paperwork to be processed and we can then continue flight training to bring him from Bedrock (C172) to Starwars (RV10)
