Airplane build

[drsmile]

Well - I did it. I bought an airplane kit. Vans RV10. Project will take me a few years to complete. Fuselage is in basement. Wing, empennage, and tail kit will be picked up Saturday. I will post pictures every few months showing progress as it occurs.

RV10 is a 4 place. 170 ktas airplane. Looking forward to making it into what I want. If anyone out there has experience and can provide local input / help - let me know.

Cool ! My dad and brother were both pilots. Back when I was in my 20's, I wanted to get my private pilot's certificate and occasionally rent a plane, but maybe OWN my own ultralight / experimental. But none of that ever happened.

Close friend of my dads built a few ultra lights and other aircraft. I got to help with one of the wings, it’s a neat process and I see him up in the reserved air space at the Columbus Airport doing flips and stunts literally several times a week!

It's going to take a really big tube of glue to put that together.
Good luck, looks like a fun project.

I think I've watched him from a parking lot on Airport Blvd. Guy does some crazy s**t.
