What am I missing here?
A plane with twice the stock power, fuel capacity, all held together with clecos, larger blade, 80% completed (maybe cleco'ing) and all for a "Buy me now" at 100K.
Something just isn't right about all of this. Where does the extra 60 gallons go and what about W&B and what's with the lack of riveting and saying 80% completed. And what kills me (no pun intended) is "I have already spent $187,000 for this airplane that should easliy fly at 25,000 feet, maintain over 500hp at altitude with turbo, at well over 300mph, and 1,500 mile range." This has to be some joke.. He'll take 100K now?? What to kill someone!. The RV-10 has a Vne of 240, that does NOT mean 240mph at FL18 which Ken clearly explains in the attachment "why more power is not always a good thing" . (see attachment)
Is it April 1st? or does this guy think he'll find a fool out there to buy what simply is "just not right!!" Laugh and ask what if..

Hello All, first post on the list... lemme know if I screw it up!
There's a good description of what is said to be the real story behind this kit in a thread on VAF (http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=14866)

Interesting read. I guess that’s what you get for paying someone else to build you an experimental aircraft. He may not have understood the rules but the guy building it for them certainly knew he was violating them.
