Welcome to Adam and Jeanine’s RV-10 site. This blog initially was setup to document the process of building my RV-10. Now as we move into the flying and enjoying part of the process, this site will morph more into a travel and experiences with our RV-10 blog. The historical build info will still be accessible to those currently building as a reference/resource. If you click on the “Build Log” menu item above, it’ll take you to all the build related blog posts, or you can navigate the pull down menu that comes up to further filter posts by specific areas of the build that you might be interested in. Of course, several of my posts are not just on one topic, so you may see lots of posts that have topics sprinkled in that are unrelated to your filter.

Our RV-10 was started in early 2016 and took a little over 8 years to complete. I received my airworthiness certificate on May 29th, 2024 and completed a successful first flight on June 1st, 2024. Of course lots of things happened (life) during the build process. 1) We had a son about a year and a half into the build. and 2) We had a new home built, during which, I put the project on hold for about a year as we were going through the move. Despite all that, I kept plugging away little by little most every day persevering to completion. I consider it one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. It’s really hard to describe the feelings and emotions of taking that first flight of an airplane you built in your garage. It’s a feeling like no other.

We now plan to use the plane to travel around and see more of the country, so stick around and follow our adventures.
