The RV's are designed to appeal to the sporty individual while the
Express would appeal more to the cross country traveler/businessman who
had exceptional taste. ;-)

The RV-10 was not designed for the sporty individual, it is very much a
cross
country traveler for either the businessman or the family traveler with
exceptional taste. You really need to look before you leap on this
subject,
obviously you haven't seen an RV-10 up close or you would not have made the
above statements.


Comparing notes from Express web page and from Van's web page the RV-10 is 2"
wider both front and back seat. Head room may be a little bit shorter in the
RV-10 but at 6'3" there is still room to spare for me in the back seat. I
could
not believe how much room there is in that airplane.

Jerry,

I won't argue your numbers but wasn't comparing the numbers as much as the
experience of setting in the fron and back seats of both aircraft. They are
both roughly equal in pilot and copilot comfort unless you count the seats that
they put in the RV-10 which are exceptional. The back seat in the Express is
another story though. In some versions of the Express, they were setup as six
passenger aircraft with an added storage pod under the fuselage. The interior
room of the Express is very deep and the rear seat is much further back from
the front seat. The RV-10 rear seat is better than most 4-place GA aircraft
but not near the Express.
