Well guys & gals the building begins again for me. I built a 7A with first flight in 2004. Have about 550 hrs on it but now it's time for a more roomy XC edition.
The tail kit arrived this afternoon so I've spent the last couple hours getting the big pieces out and inventoried. Did slow build on the -7A but will probably go QB on the -10.
I've met a few of you up at Boone as I'm located in Muscatine, IA. My son lives in Boone so the plane ends up there frequently.
Interesting (at least for me) bit of useless information... the night I filled out the order form for the 7A was the first time the four seat plane was discussed on Vans web site. I called the next morning before faxing the order for the 7A in and asked about the four seater but was told it would be a couple years before it was in production. I couldn't wait that long to begin building so we decided to build the two seater and if the four seater made it and lived up to expecations and if we could complete the two seater we'd do it again.
It did, we did so here we go again.

Always great to have another in the pursuit. And a Repeat Offender to
boot.

Welcome Doug, and thanks for announcing yourself! I'm sure you'll
find the RV-10 probably builds quicker and easier than the 7A, so
you should have it flying in what seems like record time, with
your skills already built. Have fun!

That is one of the most fun days in my life.
Here is a blurring picture of my wife and I putting our tails on the tail.
Next thing you know, your at Oshkosh!
It is a rare breed that has the confidence, motiviation, and vision to build your own airplane.
That first step is the hardest part of the process (even though you are a second offender), but once you take it, the journey is amazing.
Have fun building! I miss it.
