I'm New Here
I currently own a Grumman Tiger with 3 partners. We are considering buying a low time RV10. We are in the process of trying to determine the positive and negatives. We already know the many positives but are trying to concentrate on any potential negatives before we commit. One negative that has been proposed to us is that many repair shops do not work on experimental aircraft and that although that will not be a problem at our home base, if something goes wrong far from home we might have a hard time finding a mechanic to work on it. They say it is a problem of perceived liability as well as lack of experience with the model by most mechanics. They also said that since the RV10 is relatively new and there are not that many out there that the problem would be worse for that particular model. I would greatly appreciate any comments from those of you that are not the original builder and have had experience in this area.
