Jack,
Great job, nice looking aircraft. Let the fun begin!

 

[Janekom]

Great and Congratulations!

Enjoy every minute spent in this time machine. I remember a quote:
A mile of road can only lead you to the next neighbourhood and a mile of runway will lead you to where ever you want to go. Well sort of.

Thanks all for comments....but you guys all helped build our 10 so thanks to you.

Bryan Douglass warned me early on he had a addiction ( rv10 flying) I blew him off thinking I was stronger person and could resist..WRONG!! I love this airplane...every takeoff is a thrill and the AFS avionics package is over the top. Amazing aircraft!

51 landings since Monday afternoon and Hobbs see below

Phase 1 complete

Phase 1 done 11 days.... Trying to explain fuel usage surge to Accounting dept amazing aircraft!!!
First passenger!
Happy wife happy life!

 

[Bill.Peyton]

That's got to be a record! Did you have to fly 25 or 40 hours?

 

[Jackm]

40 hrs

Rob Hickman did the same... Could not get enough of this machine..@ 20 hour mark we did mini annual and I think had top cowl off after almost every flight. Had small oil leak to fix at 25 hrs but other than that no issues!! Flight testing was very consistent with results posted here from you guys...thanks

I don't want to say I told you so but...I told you. Good job, enjoy that amazing machine and fly safe like Mike taught you.

And smart man taking to boss as your first passenger. There might be hope for you after all.
