After 5 years of building my RV-10, N518RV took to the air in February 2010. It was painted in August, after phase 1 was completed. It is equipped with an Aerosport Power IO-540, Grand Rapids EFIS/EIS, Garmin avionics stack and the Tru-Trak autopilot. It has plenty of power and is a real dream to fly. [...]
My wife, Debrya and I recently finished our Murphy Rebel. We spent almost 4 years building our baby. The first flight took place on Sept 1, 2011 and it flew smoothly with no need for control adjustments. The panel consists of two Dynon Skyview panels along with an SL-40, GTX327, Sigtronics intercom, and an Alpha [...]
I began construction of my modified Mirage Marathon in October of 1996. I decided to make mine a traildragger rather than this model’s fixed tricycle gear. The wood, foam and fiberglass design lends itself well to modification. I modified the aft fuselage to accommodate a spring and tailwheel assembly and modified the forward fuselage to [...]
N143DJ first flew on August 10, 2011 after nearly 11 1/2 years of slow building. She has an AeroSport Power O-320, a Catto prop, Dynon D-100 EFIS, and D-120 EMS. I want to thank my tech counselors Gale Derosier, Rick Galati, and the late Bob Jude. I also want to thank my flight advisor Bill [...]

Dear friends, I am a Brazilian subscriber and that is my GALILEU. She is a heavily modified Corben Baby Ace built from scratch over seven years by Mr. Soraggi, a gifted airplane model builder. That is the reason why she is such a perfect flying machine! With a VW 2.2 engine I reach 82 knots. [...]
I started this project in 1998 after a visit to Oshkosh. I built this Safari from plans doing the entire frame welding myself and opting for a customized R22 canopy instead of the classic “Baby Bell” bubble canopy reminiscent of the classic Bell 47. Murray Sweet, the founder and developer of the Safari Helicopter, commented [...]
My kit arrived on 2/9/09. After taking inventory, I began building and completed the plane in 480 hours over a 14 month period. First flight was on 7/17/10 at Troy Airpark in Troy, MO. I get great climb on takeoff after a ground roll of about 150 feet. It climbs at 60 mph, cruises at [...]
I started building my RV-6A, N57TK, on July 4, 2002 and I flew the first flight on September 5, 2005. The empennage and wings were built by another builder. When I bought the project, the slow-build fuselage was still in the shipping crate. My day/night VFR RV-6A is equipped with a Dynon EFIS-D10, a Trio [...]
