We have got one more days finishing up to do on our RV10, then it's off 

to the paint shop.



For those interested it has basically taken two of us, full time, from 

March through to now.



Included in that time was about a month of doing our own panel & tunnel 

& associated extra work.



Also a fair bit of messing around with the James cowl & plenum / BPE 

cold air setup. It's all on, & fits nicely. We should know in a month 

how well it works.



We have done all our own wiring.

Next time, I'd definitely get Stein to do the panel. (& thanks for 

sorting out the Chelton / D2A mess)



We used EXACTLY 8 litres of primer.



Best money spent - Tungsten bucking bar from Stein

Best money saved - No mis-dimpled holes - no pneumatic squeezer! but we 

killed 3 hand squeezer internals!

Cheapest useful tool - homemade holefinder.

Abby's interior was great.

No parts missing from kit - just a few bolts & nutplates short - 

probably because we used them on our changes.

Most used websites for help - Tim & Deems. Both have been v helpful in 

private emails.

Most fun part - riveting.

Worst part - filling pinholes.

Neil & Sarah - with help from Mike, and quality control by Robin.



ZK-RVT - first of type in New Zealand.

kit no 40593.

Thanks Deems



Hopefully we'll see you all at Osh next year - assuming it all goes 

well with the long range tests.
