 |
|
Piloted by myself on December 16, 2007 RV-10 N324RG took flight from Propwash Airport located in Justin, Texas. After almost 4 years, and roughly 2600 building hours and weighing in at 1658 lbs., kit # 40063 took to the air. The powerplant is the TMX IO-540 and propeller is a Hartzell blended airfoil. The equipment list includes a Grand Rapids EFIS, EIS 6000 engine monitor, PMA8000, GNS430, GTX330, SL-30, 496, and Sorcerer autopilot. The RV10 is a sweeeeet ride. You can view the video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVwVrg1Mr5k
I am a repeat offender (RV8 # 80133) so thanks again to my wife for all the help and support and to Vans for another great design. Thanks also go to Alex DeDoninicis for the checkout, and to my son, Troy Grover (Grov-Air, Inc.) for flying down from Indiana to help prepare for the first flight and for flying the chase plane.

Ron, Congratulations! Great video as well, although you may need to update your username 
Pretty slick having the family play so much a part of it.
Have fun,

Congratulations Ron!!!!
I was in Dallas a few months ago and had the opportunity to have dinner with Wayne Edgerton, Ron, and his wife. Afterwards, Ron invited us over to his house for a tour of his airplane factory. Ron (and Wayne for that matter) have hangars that most of us would drool over. However, Ron still built his RV-10 in the garage with the hangar ten feet away. Something about wanting a/c during the Texas summers. I was very impressed with Ron’s skills as a builder. It was clearly one of the best built RV-10s that I’ve seen to date.
Ron I would like to see some pictures of your interior and panel if possible.
So when is Troy going to finish his RV-10? The pictures on his website are quite dated.

I may be suffering from “Oldtimers disease” but can anyone tell me where in the instruction manual Part F-10108 is talked about?

Ron,
Welcome to the air!
Isn't she a beautifully flying bird?
Congratulations on the first part (even harder part to come is finishing off the inside and outside!)
