| Subject: | Murphy AND RV building Experience |
Anyone out there have experience building a Murphy Moose AND an RV (preferably
an RV-10 or at least a pre-punched model)? I built an RV-10 so I'm curious as
to how the build process and times compare to the Murphy's.

I've assisted both a Murphy Super Rebel and an RV-10. I don't really know
what to tell you other than the obvious:
- Both kits have parts that don't fit and need to be completely redone.
- Both are big aircraft but the Moose is much bigger and therefore more
work. There's just no way around the fact that it takes longer to build a
bigger plane.
- Pulling rivets is much easier, simpler, and less prone to error than
pounding rivets.
- Factory support from Van's is obviously better but a couple months ago
I was still able to get an email answer from Murphy within 24 hours. It
didn't contain the information for the amphib configuration I asked for but
then again I don't suppose Van's provides weight and balance for amphibs
either.
- Both builders were above average happy with their kits.

Thanks thats helpful! I guess in the end what Im trying figure out is the avg
build time and how well my RV experience translates over to the Moose. Looking
to see if that will shorten the build any. I heard from an SR2500 builder to
expect to take between 3000 and 4000 hours for a brand new kit from the factory.
Thats more than I want spend building especially since Ill have to sell
my RV-10 to fund whatever project I settle on.

3000-4000 hours is realistic. Your experience building the RV-10 will
obviously greatly speed up building any aircraft but even professional
build shops can spend 5000 hours building a Moose. It's a huge airframe.
