Hey RV-10 builders.... I have run the numbers and with a 235hp engine and basic
avionics I am coming up with 65 to 75k to build a 10... Maybe I am dreaming.
Any thoughts?? I am getting ready to buy a 7 kit but trying to find a way to
swing the 10 kit.
Doug

Doug,
Would you be able to share yor "numbers". I have been trying to work
out the overall cost myself.

Ok,
Here is what I have.... I took the rv-7 cost estimator and put estimated cost for
the 10 and came up with the following:
kit total slow build 31,000+ engine 235hp 540 mid time 15,000 + Fix pitch catto
prop 2500.00 + firwall forward 4000 + basic avionics and radios 6500.00 + lights
1000 + basic electrical system 1000 + Interior 1000.00 we can do interior
ourselves+ tools 2200.00 64,200 + paint 2500.00 to 5000.00 66700 to 69200 total...
I have been told that you can set up a 540 as fixed pitch..... but not sure and
have someone checking into it. Dont see why the 10 could not fly on a fixed pitch
catto prop with 235hp. I could be totally wrong about that... If I find
the numbers add up I plan to build a 10.
take care,
Doug

Doug,
You may well end up with one of the cheapest RV-10's that flies.
From what we know know about kit prices, the first 3 kits will
run you ~ $3K + 7.25K + 12.1K --- roughly $22,500. The 3rd kit
is probably going to be a bit higher than the others...maybe
$8000-is? At the show, I asked about FirewallForward and it sounds
like that will be in the few thousands also. So, $35,000 is probably
more like it.
You're one of the first that I've seen mention that they're not
going either balls-to-the-wall with the 260Hp, or to a new, but
alternative engine (deltahawk, innodyn, or other). Nothing wrong
with a used mid-time, but I'm hearing more people talk about new.
Haven't heard anyone else really talk about Fixed Pitch props either,
and we kind of chuckled after the RV-10 Forum at OSH as to how many
VFR only -10's there will be....most people seem to be thinking a
real IFR cruiser.
Nothing wrong with your plans....it's just that you're seeming
to be in a slightly different direction than many others.
There's no autopilot, and many other things on your list.
My plan is more like:
$40k with QB on the fuse only for the airframe.
$38K for a new engine with dual lightspeed ignition with extras
$10K for a c/s prop
$59.5K for a pretty decked out panel
Quite a bit different, and even more than I expected originally.
I guess I'd say make yourself aware that you may end up 20% or more
overbudget by the time you get done, because your opinions may
change as time goes on. I see Van's demo -10 as a very basic
plane in most respects...not much trim to it at all. Yet even
they are pushing toward the $100K mark. I'm guessing that a large
percentage of the builders are going into this expecting that they
won't get it flying before they've poured in at least $80-90K....
anyone else want to comment on that to verify?
