Holy.. okey. Now I got a bit starstruck here. Don't know where to begin tbh. Sound advices, but I think you misunderstood me. ( I'm swedish and we apologise alot 🤣) I been following your journey for years now, and I won't stop until you get that thing up in the blue. Keep it up. My point was that RV10 just looks very complicated, but you probably have a good point in this video. Don't know what to say more than Thank you, keep it up. Hope you find a way to afford that money to noice converter.
Most airplane kits are put together and then take apart. The pre assembly is where you find most of your mistakes and have the best opportunity to remedy any error. This saves time and money in the big picture. The new kits are easier and different manufacturers are at different levels of the amount of work and difficulty. The Van’s kits are somewhat more involved than others due to their potential complexity, depending on what options you chose. For example avionics, interior, and engine. The reward is an airplane that competes in performance head to head with the SR-22. The more you put into the project the greater the reward.
Mr Anderson kits have evolved enormously I'm presently building the Vans rv 6 and it has no holes pre drilled and a lot more fabrication work to do. So do your homework research and watch all kinds of different planes being built on UA-cam. And you will get a feel for what's involved in building.
As always, up front and honest. This is the man who got me interested in the RV 10 and since then, I watch all his and the other mentioned videos even though I haven’t purchased a kit, yet…. I really like the newer RV-10 start videos as well. To see them check out Austin Manke and Missile Twenty Nine for detailed build videos. All the builders provide different perspectives and they surely do not camouflage their challenges. They are all to be commended. And yes, Jason, you need to make another video!
Hi Jason, I ve been following your build since the beginning from Brazil. You are an awesome guy with a project I am dreaming about doing since 2005... please be motivated and move on. DONT GIVE UP ! Cheers !
Here's another RV-10 Build channel that I enjoy watching a lot. It is hosted by Vlad. His channel is called Tech Fun Style. Check it out. It's different, but I enjoy the host and his project. A Sling 4 Build channel that I enjoyed watching is hosted by Evan Brunye, and that's the name of the channel, also. He's a super talented guy who gets a lot done quickly and efficiently. He completed his Sling 4 and has moved on to helping others, but the videos of his build are still there, AFAIK.
Love the fact you took the time to do this - well - and the entire channel, really! I've been following your build since the start and always look forward to your videos. Please keep up all your hard work, and thank you!
Not gonna lie, watching you (and some of the others you mentioned) build the RV-10 sealed the deal for me in buying a Sling TSI. I agree with you on the mission, but if it takes me 5-10 years to build, I may never fly that mission. That said, I love your videos, please keep them coming!
I‘m in the same boat. RVs might be the best kit planes out there once they are finished but this channel was a big eye opener about the complexity and the time it takes. I‘m going with another brand and as much quick build as possible. Also want to eventually fly the plane just as much as building it. Statements like you either build or fly seem to be coping mechanism with this ginormous undertaking. Not heard here but elsewhere quite regularly. That said i really enjoy watching this channel and will keep doing so, it‘s super educational.
I struggled between the two vans rv10 and sling tsi. I ultimately chose the 10. It is a more complex build with more options and decisions. I think if you want a more “out of the box” build, sling might be the choice. It will be a bit less expensive and quicker. The 10 felt like more airplane to me. A bit bigger, more solid. People compare the sling to a mooney, small and fast for the power plant. The 10 is more a bonanza. I have a video build channel and did a video discussing my choice for the 10.
I am building RV 14.. I believe sling is mostly pull rivets..which would make it consderably easier, if you are building by yourself.. I have seen from my build, if you have a rivetting partner..no matter how skilled they are, which I rarely have , things go much much faster..I ask for help from my friends only when I cant do it myself..you got to respect their time too...not everyone wants to build an airplane
End of the day you have to build 51% of the aircraft, your on the edge of that if you go quickbuild,am building an rv14a and prepunched final size is great.
I don’t think MojoGrip build a Sling. It looked more like he hired it built and did just enough to get into his videos. I watched his channel for a while, but he really didn’t seem like a builder to me, but rather a videographer. Which is fine, just not what I was looking for in a channel.
I'm not building, I'm rebuilding a Challenger 2 ultralight. Putting things on, taking them off, making an adjustment, putting it back on, taking it back off and making another adjustment, rinse and repeat until you get it right is even done on ultralights like mine. Some times I've spent 4 hours in the hangar, and all I got done, was putting something on, and taking it off half a dozen times, till I got it to fit right. It's all part of building, or in my case, rebuilding. Cheers from Winnipeg.
Building an RV airplane is not easy. It takes lots of time, commitment, persistence and patience to build and finish. Also, it's probably going to cost more money than you think to build and complete. If you are a perfectionist, don't build an RV because no plane is perfect and you probably won't finish. Don't build an RV if all you really want to do is just fly. In this case, you are probably better off renting or buying an airplane to fly. You have to accept that building an RV is a challenge. If you don't enjoy the building process, you won't finish. Finally, the actual time to build an RV is going to take longer than you think ... maybe even twice as long. So if you are in a hurry, don't build an RV. If that doesn't scare you, go for it!
Quickly becoming an age old question, build time is something to consider but the support you get with RV makes it an appealing choice for new builders
You’re right; the RV10 beats the Sling hands down on everything. It’s like a bonanza versus a Warrior. Both great airplanes but one is just a bit more capable on load, range, speed and the opposite is true for fuel consumption
As much as I love flightchops I feel like he kind of glosses over the hard parts of his RV 14. Because I watch your channel I was definitely able to appreciate Steve's build a lot more because you really do show the good the bad and the ugly of the journey. But flightchops isn't about the nitty-gritty of building an airplane; your channel is.
Building (per the FAA) is for EDUCATION, not quick flying. Go to Cessna if you want a plane to fly and quickly. You BUILD to learn the airplane and how to build (and repair) and not to get a cheap airplane ...
Great advise, I'm old school. These two planes you spoke of are snap together kits. It gives you a good education on a plane but you're not doing all of the work. No disrespect intended, but your only building half of the plane!

You’re a good dude. Loving the journey.
Good plane living is also a great source (Mr Ed Kranz and his lovely wife).

My next door
hangar-mate took 19 years to build his (and he is still in the modification process) (Velocity)
@@1shARyn3 wow, I’ve never heard of 19 years. I know a guy who took 9 to build his RV and I thought that was forever.

Bro! Come on brother. Keep us up to speed . #dyingoverhere

The greater the struggle, the greater the reward when complete.

Sound advice, Jason! Guil’s last name is Barros.
BuildFlyGo is his channel on UA-cam

nor did Steve do most/much of the building (ditto Mike Ojo on his Sling)

You BUILD to learn the airplane and how to build (and repair) and not to get a cheap airplane ...

Seems like he might not understand what he’s building. It’s a very nice aircraft, not a paper airplane…
