Whats the half-way point in building the RV-10…its taking me soooo loooong?
This is kind of a guesstimate of an answer based on my experience with a QB fuse only, so your mileage may vary a bit. What I consider to be the 1/2 way point is at first glance to many builders a bit of a surprise. I figure it’s getting close to the end of the actual airframe construction, at about the time you’re putting your windshield in the airplane. Of course, some people leave the windshield out extra long for better access, but if you do it at the normal spot, that’s about 1/2 way. Most first-time builders, including myself, don’t really have a concept of just how many wrap-up details there are at the end. During the last couple months, I kept a list, and for ever item I completed, I seemed to add a couple more. Do keep a list, so you don’t forget anything, but you’ll be surprised at how many details you will find. Building a plane is not a big project….it’s thousands of tiny projects and steps. You get there by crossing them off one at a time.
