Another Van’s RV-10 Builder’s Log!

This is an online aircraft builder’s log that will chronicle the trials and tribulations of building a Van’s Aircraft RV-10 airplane. Renegade10 is based at the Livermore Municipal Airport, in lovely Livermore, California.

About the Airplane

The RV-10 is a four-person kit airplane developed by Van’s Aircraft. It is a good performing, attractive, and versatile aircraft that rivals many certified aircraft designs. The kit was released in 2003 and there are now over 1,000 RV-10 airplanes completed.

About Me

I’m Chris. I’ve been a private pilot since 2007, and an airplane owner since 2014. I am based out of Livermore, California. I have been wanting to build a kit airplane for several years. Finally, in late 2020, I placed an order to Van’s Aircraft for an RV-10 empennage kit. This blog will document the highlights, and perhaps also the lowlights, in the build process.
