Hey all,

  

   After much debate and decision making with  my wife and daughter, traveling around flying non-rv demos and yes a TON OF  LURKING ,as Tim Olsen so put it, on this matronics stuff.....I'm building  an RV-10.  The final decision was made yesterday at the AOPA  convention when I finally got to see one in person.  I  went  there with  the hope to fly a demo, but it wasn't available......but I  got to see it, touch it and make a few "very quiet" airplane noises....not one  for too much embarrassment......and then I noticed a grin to the left of my  mouth....I'm hooked!.....I've known for about 6 months I was going to  "build" our new plane so we bought an acre at Sky Ranch Estates (3L2), 20  minutes south of Las Vegas, four months ago and are about to start building our  hangar and a new home.  Yep,  we are going to move there, build and  live with our new -10......maybe even another RV later, and have a private  runway to boot!  This whole matronics list......most of witch I don't  understand but I'll get it.....played a huge part in this decision....especially  Tim's "commitment" statement......Thanks Tim!!.........Truly looking forward to  this site for help from some fine people and offer any help I can give.   I'm ordering the QB kit about Christmas time and should start building about feb  or mar if all goes well with the hangar build.  Now for my first  question:  Does anyone know the name of a school that offers an empennage  building class?.......I stumbled on it one day while LURKING and never found it  again

  

 Thanks

Robert,

  

 Welcome and congratulations!  One of the main factors in my decision was the "user group" of builders.  They all have differing opinions - some are conservative builders ("don't use auto paint, your plane will crash") and some not ("check out this jet mod i installed under each wing") so there is plenty of perspective.

  

 My advice?  Have fun and get your friends and family involved.  I put a cooler in the shop and when it's filled with drinks and snacks I get all kinds of visitors wanting to help. 

  

 Good luck!

Congrats:  

   

Synergy in Eugene is the closest.  Alexander’s in Georgia is the most prolific.  They are all over the place.  Van’s can direct you to a close location.

Two schools that I know of are SynergyAir in Eugene, OR and Alexander Technical Center in Griffin, GA. My wife and I attended the SynergyAir class and were extremely pleased. I have heard only good reports about Alexander Tech Center as well. I think there are others out there as well. It was money well spent for two very inexperienced builders. We left with a lot of knowledge, some self-confidence, and completed HS, VS, rudder, elevators, and trim tabs.

Dave  

   

There are 4 RV-10s in Las Vegas, Mine, Rick S, Droopy and Chris’s.  All in different stages of construction.  Come see them all.  After going to a school, I made the choice.  I went to the one in Corona.  I am giving a toolbox school next weekend to a friend, if you want to, order one and come on by.  You can email me off the list at bob.kaufmann(at)cox.net (bob.kaufmann(at)cox.net).    

   

You will be attached at the hip to Tim’s site, bookmark it and go there often.  He is also a great guy.

Welcome, Robert!  It sounds as if you and your family will be  building a whole bunch for the next few cycles of time!  Enjoy the  journey.

Robert,



I didn't know a thing about building an RV-10 when I started three years 

ago.  To get started I did a three day builders course with George Orndorff 

and that got me off and running.  I then had the fun of building the 

empennage in my hangar on my schedule.  The epennage plans are great and 

easy to follow even for a left handed CPA.

Hey all,



   After much debate and decision making with my wife and daughter, 

traveling around flying non-rv demos and yes a TON OF LURKING ,as Tim Olsen 

so put it, on this matronics stuff.....I'm building an RV-10.  The final 

decision was made yesterday at the AOPA convention when I finally got to 

see one in person.  I  went there with  the hope to fly a demo, but it 

wasn't available......but I got to see it, touch it and make a few "very 

quiet" airplane noises....not one for too much embarrassment......and then 

I noticed a grin to the left of my mouth....I'm hooked!.....I've known for 

about 6 months I was going to "build" our new plane so we bought an acre at 

Sky Ranch Estates (3L2), 20 minutes south of Las Vegas, four months ago and 

are about to start building our hangar and a new home.  Yep,  we are going 

to move there, build and live with our new -10......maybe even another RV 

later, and have a private runway to boot!  This whole matronics 

list......most of witch I don't understand but I'll get it.....played a 

huge part in this decision....especially Tim's "commitment" 

statement......Thanks Tim!!.........Truly looking forward to this site for 

help from some fine people and offer any help I can give.  I'm ordering the 

QB kit about Christmas time and should start building about feb or mar if 

all goes well with the hangar build.  Now for my first question:  Does 

anyone know the name of a school that offers an empennage building 

class?.......I stumbled on it one day while LURKING and never found it 

again



Thanks

Hi all



Just to let you know that Vans shipped our container last week, to New 

Zealand. QB, IO540 from Barretts, cowl from James, interior from Abby, 

avionics from Stein, bits from Spruce. MT 3 blade to follow. Vans were 

great at collecting everything & packing it. Should be here just after 

Christmas, ready for a hot summer in the shed.



The great question will be how many extras we need to import from the 

USA.



Kit no 593 - for those who like to know!



Two of us will be building full time, until we run out of parts! So we 

hope to be flying some time in April / May / june / july.........



The first time we see an RV10 in the flesh will be ours. The first time 

we will be flying one, it will be ours. So our decision to build one 

has come almost entirely from 2nd hand recommendations & comments! 

Flying experience is limited to C152's, 172's and microlights. But we 

do have a good test pilot lined up



Neil
