So, I am building my -10 and enjoying the build process a LOT! More than I thought I would to be honest. There is something extremely relaxing and enjoyable about building that I just didn't expect to be there as much as it is.
This plane is being built for me and also for my family.. This will be my minivan, and I mean that in a good way. I look forward to flying it but the mission for this plane is to take trips with the family.
I'm only in the Empennage stage and already thinking about my next project =)
I like the idea of a single seat, man over the CG style aircraft. My very own "fighter plane" that I can use to tool around the sky and just have fun in. Maybe as my traveler when it's just me.
That makes me think RV-3. Or does someone else have another suggestion? Another non-vans aircraft maybe?
I like the idea of a -3 but I know very little about it and have no tail dragger experience. Something I'm pretty sure I will need to get in order to get into a "fighter plane" one man over the CG style aircraft..
Firstly, Compared the -10 is the -3 easy to build? I have to think the -10 is easier because of all the match drilling.. They do everything for you! Seriously there seems to be a lot of "put tab A in slot B" with the -10 plans. Vans did a great job with them.
The -3 being a lot older seems like they send you plans and a shovel and point you to a pile of bauxite.. heh.. Read: much more difficult.
Thoughts?
PS I fully intend to finish the -10 before I even start on the next project but I just like to explore options..
