Posted: Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:01 pm Post subject: Purchase of an RV 10 Kit

Fellow Builders  

I am a new subscriber to the RV 10 list. I have built and am now flying a F1 Rocket from a parts kit. I have a wife and 2 children who have been enjoying the flying so much that they are now saying that I must start on a 4 seater. It looks like the RV 10 is the one for me to build.  

I have decided to go the QB route this time. It looks like the options are Electric trim, which I think may be a good idea for a side by side aircraft.   

I wonder about the external steps, due to drag. Anybody have input or experience on this?  

Map box. I would think this is a good idea and since I will go with a VFR panel I would think there must be lots of room on the panel.  

Fresh air vent?  Any input here?  

Are there other options I should consider?  

Is anybody aware of a QB kit out there in need of a home?  

I hope I will be able to contribute to the list and I look forward to the project.  

I am located at CYKF in Kitchener, Ontario.  

Thanks.

You might be choosing the most significant option of all - a VFR '10.  

I've been lurking here for a year and it seems that everyone is building 

an IFR spaceship (including yours truly).



If you were to build a VFR day cruiser you might have one of the fast 

built, nicest flying '10s around. 



The trick may be to avoid some of the options.

Electric elevator trim is standard.  There is an option for aileron 
	


trim, and DIY options for rudder trim.  There are no manual trim options

External steps are included with the kit.  It would be difficult to 
	


climb up into the plane without the steps.

With a VFR panel you could probably put in 2 map boxes.

Standard are 2 vents up front and 2 vents for the rear passangers
	


Accuracy Avionics <http://www.accuracyavionics.com/> has an overhead 

console that adds air vents.

Lots, for the tail kit they are limited to static ports and rudder 
	


control fairings.  Just get started, stay on this list, check out the 

builders web sites and have fun building.  If you could build a 4 

(without pre punched skins, the 10 will be a breeze).
