Hi -
I have an RV-10 on order (quickbuild kits). I’m trying to figure out the best place to build it. I don’t have room in my garage, but I do have a large (equivalent to maybe a 2.5 car garage) back patio that’s enclosed on three sides. Would working semi outdoors be reasonable? I could for sure drape plastic over parts to keep them from getting dusty, and they would be protected from rain and sun. I live in Los Angeles, so average humidity is relatively low. I do worry about potential for corrosion etc. I live about 20 miles from the coast.
Due to the space and generally wanting a helpful eye while getting started I signed up with Synergy in Oregon to build the empennage kit. So I won’t need to build that here at home.
With quickbuild kits, and having the empennage kit complete, is there much to do before getting to a stage where a hanger makes more sense? I’ve got an airport maybe 20 minutes from me - but I’d love to do as much as I can at home so that I can spend more time on the project.
Sorry for so many questions!
