They're building an RV-10 at our field. Almost done now (the guy
started in November) and has worked full time (40+ hours/week). This
guy is an AME as well and his career was in aviation and has restored
planes in the past. What I'm saying is that it is a lot of work (they
got the QB kit)... however its a great thing for our airport as when we
have our regular Saturday morning breakfasts we later go out and get a
show/tell session.

The RV10 is a roomy plane... wider than many... 48" i believe. Lots of
baggage space and it is fast.. around 180kts (IO540).

Anyhow, this guy is for hire and will help anyone build their RV (or
any other plane) for a very reasonable amount.

This will be (as far as I understand) the first flying RV 10 in Canada.
(that was built here). As for the price... i think the owner will
have close to 250k CDN into it when complete.

I am considering building an RV-7A. I currently own an Arrow. I would like
to have an airplane that will cruise at about 200, with a 200 Hp engine in
order to keep the fuel burn numbers within reason. Is the RV the way to go
or am I missing something??
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated and probably heeded.
