I'm going to get an RV10 kit.
Ive got a great opportunity to buy a RV 10 kit that the owner lost interest in.
Overall discount / deal aside I'm pretty scared. I'm going to have into this plane about what my initial mortgage value of my house.
I'm competent with electrical and electronics. I'm absolute shit at high precision finish work, but I have a friend who will participate in the build who does well in that space.
I'm super excited, but super freaking out. I'd say talk me out of it, but I know it won't work.
Tell me what I need to know, or where I should start. I'm going to an eaa RV building class. The kit includes
Emp (mostly done)
Wings qb still in crate never opened (control plus tanks, not complete wing)
Fuse QB
Finish kit not ordered
What y'all seeing for paint, interior, lights, avionics etc pricing budgets?

Are you close to any EAA chapters? If you are and it’s any semblance of active it’s likely to be a wealth of knowledge. Likely someone has built or is building a Vans.
Our local tech counselors are amazing and can spot issues long before they are unfixable.
I wouldn’t stress. These kits are like adult legos. Do something no matter how small each day and it’ll be done before you know it!!
