Vans RV-10. I am building one of these!

Thanks for visiting my site! This site is designed to provide historical reference and illustrate the construction of my Van's RV-10 Aircraft. Many hours of preparation go into every assembly prior to construction, but before you know it another section has been created. Someday.....it will fly!

 
First solo 11/04/2006

I've always been fascinated by airplanes. I suppose this is not unique, but building an airplane and then flying it sure is. I've been blessed for sure.

This is not only about aircraft for me. When I first squeezed into a Cessna 172 for a trial flight, a harsh reality became very clear. My weight and size would be a real issue. Time to do something about it!

 
Future fighter pilot?

Shortly after, I began the Atkins Diet. As of November 2005, I have dropped 80 pounds since I started in mid February. I still have more to lose, but not bad so far. The project is sure a motivator and keeps me going. You may notice some subtle changes in my construction photos along the way. As the airplane gets larger, I get smaller.

It's time for me to participate and not be a spectator.

Please use the Guest Registry if you get a chance. I would like to hear from you!

 
I flew this plane the day before this picture.

Wow...I used to fly that plane!
Took a look at the Meadow Lake website tonight and got a HUGE surprise. The Cherokee 180 I've been training was shown stuck in a tree short of the runway. Thankfully, the pilot was fine.

 

UPDATE!!!!!
.....here's the latest. Installing Van's Wiring Harness. Also, got the custom Stainless Steel Brake Lines installed. Very Nice!!!

Project sold 1-24-2009. Bummer!
