Way to go Rob and Kelly! My wife Mary, and I, made ours a team effort as well. It makes it all the sweeter!

Hi, all... after three years, six months, and one week, our RV-10 finally had its first flight on Saturday! Rob took off from runway 34L at Paine Field, climbed to 3000 feet, circled the airport for 15 minutes, then landed uneventfully. Despite some nerves, the flight was a success. Only 39.75 more hours to go until the test period is complete and Kelly can ride, too!
Our RV-10 is powered by an Aero Sport Power IO-540-D4A5 (260 hp), Silver Hawk EX FI system, with a slick mag on bottom and Light Speed Plasma III on top. The instrument panel has a Dynon D100 EFIS, Dynon D120 EMS, Garmin GNS 430 GPS, and panel-mounted Garmin GPSMAP 696. Interior by Flightline Interiors. Our tail number is 819K: 8/19 is our wedding anniversary, and K is for "Kelly" (according to her).

P.S. (from Rob) The airplane was definitely my passion, but there's no way I could have done it without Kelly. She put up with more than I could ever ask for and kept me sane during the low points of the building, but she also took it a step further. These pictures really show it was a team effort. http://kochman.net/KellyAirplane/

Way to go Rob!
I know you are both proud. Getting the wife involved is the best option (providing she wants). My wife became pretty good at shooting rivets while I got in the difficult areas to buck. She seemed to really enjoy being part of the project.
Congrats!

Congratulations to a local guy. We have never met but I hope to remedy that some time. I am just down the road in Puyallup and a couple of years behind you. We have two RV-10s in process here. I am the slow one. One of our chapter members, Charlie, was your DAR according to your pictures. Hopefully our weather will cooperate with your fly-off plans, but this time of year it is not too promising.
Hoping for smooth air and blue skies.
