We’re building a Van’s RV-10 in our garage. The RV-10 is a single-engine, high-performance low-wing aircraft that is capable of hauling a family of four almost 1000 miles at 200 miles per hour.
This site serves as our build log, a requirement when constructing an amateur built aircraft. It will also serve as a place to share our experience, provide details on customizations we make, and to document lessons learned along the way. Much of the inspiration to get started on this project has come from other excellent build logs and we’re very grateful for the time and effort so many have made to share their knowledge with other builders. Thanks!
