Greetings from a 3rd time builder. I finished my RV-14A in 2018, helped and mentored my neighbor Scott Stone with his RV-7A after that, and recently finished my RV-10 with his help on my project. I guess I just wasn’t ready to hang up my tools, so to speak. In addition to Van’s technical support, I would like to thank Scott for all his assistance, Jason Smith at Aerotronics for building me a beautiful panel, Geoff Combs at AeroSport for a great interior including the carbon fiber instrument panel and overhead console, and Tom Swearengen, AKA “the smart one,” at Aircraft Specialties for all the custom fuel and brake lines. The aircraft will eventually be painted by Flying Colors of Texas in Gainesville, TX. The first flight was as expected and the RV-10 definitely does not disappoint. It’s a great machine and I look forward to spending many hours in the air.
