Welcome!

I'm building an RV-10. I've finished the empennage and wings. I am currently working on the firewall forward kit. I'm at that 90% done stage with 90% left to do. I hope to be completed by Thanksgiving, but only time will tell if I can meet that goal.

This site will chronicle my family's activities in building a four place 200 mile per hour RV-10 experimental aircraft. When complete it will look similar to the picture above.

The picture (taken by Doug Reeves) is of Tim Olson's RV-10. More information about the build process can be found on Tim's site (myrv10.com). Janice and I were fortunate in that Tim gave us a ride at Airventure 2008 in his RV-10. Both Janice and I had large RV grins when we landed.
