I'm New Here
Dear all:

New to the Kit world. Flown 737 for last 41 years and getting ready to retire next year. Want to test ride in a RV 10 and talk to someone who built one themselves. No quick build nor assist. I live in Chicago in summer and Orlando in winter but can come to any city in US mainland. Would very much appreciate a ride and some time to pick your brain on process. Thank you for considering.

I have a 10 that I built. Based at Schaumburg 06C. Drop me a DM. happy to show you the plane and share my experiences.

Mine was a quick build kit, so may exclude me via your criteria.
 
I’m at the other end at Tampa Exec (KVDF) and would be happy to give you a ride. I built mine as well and it was a slow build all the way. If you you’d rather buy than build we can have that discussion too.
 
I’m over in Mason south of Lansing. There are several nice RV s over here. One 9A under construction, a 14a, an RV 8, and my 9A. If you can get over this way I’m sure we can give you a ride.

Hey Todd - you have a 3 blade installed? May I take you up on a brief flight? I too am slow building a 10 and starting to pick my head up to look down the road a bit. 2 blade, 3 blade? I have not flown yet in a 10 so any prop installed would be valuable.

Thanks,

Dennis

I have a 2-blade Hartzell. Where are you located?
 
I’m in Orlando and could give you a ride if you haven’t found one by the time you get to Orlando for the winter.
