Just to let everyone know, I did my first flight in my RV-10 on Thursday, May 19, 2011.
Serial number 40013 (ordered the first hour of the first day they went on sale). Extremely slow build.... But, since I bought the kit, I had 2 kids, moved, started a new job, did an addition on the house, helped a friend finish up an RV-7, and helped another build an RV-10 quick build..... and I wasn't in a huge hurry because I had an RV-4 I built to fly in my spare time.
Awesome plane! Flew it Thursday, Friday, and today. I have 4.3 hours so far and I'm loving every minute of it! It is far from done, but it is flying!!
Here is a link to a video of it on YouTube.

Oh what a feeling. I still can't get the RV grin off of my face after 100 hours. Congratulations!
