I would like comments from any repeat builders as to the comparison of build
times for the RV-10 verses any other previous RV they built. Comments like
20% more or half as much would be helpful.

I buit a -6 to the point of needing to hang engine/install avionics and am
currently at the exact same place on the -10 so my perspective is the
construction of the kit as Van's supplied.
On the -6, I had roughly 2500 hours in and on the -10 I've got 1150 in. My
guess is engine and avionics will be roughly the same between the two. Both
kits were slow builds, the -6 was pre-punched emp/wings. Keep in mind that
the experience gained bulding the -6 translated into substantially faster
build time on the -10 with far fewer mistakes.
Hope this helps.

Compared to the RV-9A, the RV-10 kit is very similar. The
instructions, however, are far superior so far.
It took about 1500 hours to complete my RV-9A slow build. Given the
larger size of the RV-10 I figure it will take about 25% more time.
The quickbuild would save a lot of time, but I enjoy building.

The RV-10 is taking at least 25% to 40% longer to
complete than the 9A did. There are always lots of
variables in comparisons but it does take longer.

Thanks to all who replied. I thought that the times would be close to the
same as most tasks to complete are similar. However, the biggest variable
appears to be the skill of the builder. well duh!
