Sad news Jeff. Possible physical problems that go unnoticed until too
late scare the crap out of me. You hang in there .....
If I were in your shoes would add up the $$ I have invested in the
project as a starting point. This is the actual value of your project.
Now you can start adding some $$ for 'desireability'. If there were
RV-10s for sale when I started my kit, I would have seriously thought
about paying the price knowing what I know now. Somewhere between your
actual value and what a comparable -10 is selling (not asking) for is a
good asking price. Those 4,874 enjoyable hours spent so far will be a
gift to the buyer and shouldn't be a factor in coming to a asking price.
Depending on your health (mental and physical) you might want to address
the squawks yourself .... even up to painting a base color .... as this
will add value far above actual cost of completion. Might be good
therapy, I don't know.
Keep us posted ..... we do care.

One rather small and one the size of a lemon. Something about the nature of

it was determined that I have stage 4 lung cancer (never smoked). My GP came
to the hospital and explained that this was the worst time of the week to
discover something like this. We wanted to assemble the "A" team and the "A" team
didn't work the weekends." So, I was released from the ER into the care of
my wife with a few strong prescriptions and a few days to imagine all that might
be before me.

Unbeknownst to me, good friends of theirs had just endowed the Chair of
Oncology at The City of Hope. By Tuesday I was in the care of some of the very
best doctors in the world. By the following Tuesday the large tumor was surgically
removed and I was, somehow, still able to walk and talk... but not drive
and certainly not fly.

The bottom surface of the pink fiberglass cabin cover, which will act as the cockpit
ceiling, has 2 different surfaces.
The one in the aft part, which will cover the back seats and the baggage compartment,
is very smooth, and seems to be almost finished.
The one over the front seats, around the doors hinges holes, is very very rough.
How did you finish these 2 different surfaces?

I put the carbon fiber overhead duct in but finishing would be the same. I shaded
down the really high spots with a 3 inch disk sander and took the shine off
everywhere. Them I mixed up some Westsystem 105 epoxy and some micro faring filler
and spread it everywhere. The aft part I used a long board sander on and
around the curves I just tried to get nice smooth curves with whatever soft material
(like a sponge) worked. It took quite a few coats to get it smooth. I
bonded the aluminum backup strips for the rivets on before I finished it so the
edge of the aluminum would not show and painted it before I riveted it on the
aircraft. The bag side of the cabin cover is pretty bad. I may leave it painted
or cover it with some thin foam backed material like they use in modern
cars. At least I have I nice smooth surface now. It was a lot easier to finish
it laying upside down.

You can glue headliner fabric over the whole thing and not otherwise
touch it.
Using the right adhesive results in an easy and nice job (automotive
headline adhesive recommended by Flightline). However, the edges are a
challenge that I never solved. Still unhappy.

Carlos,
I used micro to fill in the rough areas on the forward side, along with a
lot of sanding. The forward side got painted the same color as the rest of
the interior. On the aft side I put up a 3/8" thick marine grade vinyl
backed foam, and covered that with a matching interior cloth (from
Cleaveland Tool). If I had to do it today, I would prep and paint the front
as before, but use this high textured product on the aft side:

A Lancair IV neighbor did this with his plane and it looks great. It is a
fraction of the work, very light, and will last forever.

If I had it to do again, I'd sand off the high spots. Fill the lows to match.
Then glue in a foam backed headliner to cover the imperfections.
Then I'd be fine with it and move on.
The cabin top has been the worst part of the project for me. Even over the doors.
I had planned on putting a headliner in mine, but after all the work I put into
mine to make it look awesome, I decided to not cover it up.
So mine is exposed now, but I'd cover it if I ever did another.

I was lucky in that I was based next to an aircraft interior shop. We used
a combination of textured truck bed liner paint and automotive type
headliner. I let the paint show in areas that are hard to cover with
cloth, like around the windows. The upper door areas are painted to
conserve headroom. This kit comes with the spray gun. I had it tinted at
my local paint supplier. Worked great and easy to apply:

Here's an example of the finished paint surface and the headliner.

Also, the areas that tend to be touched a lot are painted so they're easy
to clean.

I sprayed sound insulation and ceramic "truckliner" on my cabin top, has a orangepeel
look to it and I love it! No idea if its any quieter and temperature difference
than without it, but it sure was easy to complete- never really sanded
anything
I BTW sprayed the same mixture on my firewall- and it does block noise and heat,
but I put more on both sides on FW than I did on cabin area. In all cases the
area remains solid with no peeling whatsoever.
I used Lizardskin sound and ceramic gallons, but I think there are less expensive
options that would accomplish the same goal of covering over an area quickly.
As a note the ceramic can be sanded smooth, the sound insulator is more a rubbery
non sandable area. Additionally throwing micro balloons into the ceramic
makes it even easier to smooth out.

Carlos as others have indicated, it all depends on how you finish the
interior. Like Phil, I also painted my cabin top, with high gloss urethane
no less, so it took a lot of work (I also made my own overhead console so it
all worked out together). I would do almost all of the work before
installing the top. Same thing with the door hinges.
I figured out what position the cabin top would be in when installed, and
did about 80% of my door fitting on a work bench, then finished it up on the
fuse.
Take your time and think it all through. If you can get this far in the
build, the remainder will come as well, just takes time.

And when should that be done?
Before permanently installing the cabin cover in the fuselage?
And how about the door hinges installation?, can that be done after all that
sand & fill work?

Guys
The bottom surface of the pink fiberglass cabin cover, which will act as the
cockpit ceiling, has 2 different surfaces.
The one in the aft part, which will cover the back seats and the baggage
compartment, is very smooth, and seems to be almost finished.
The one over the front seats, around the doors hinges holes, is very very
rough.
How did you finish these 2 different surfaces?
Regards
Carlos

something that should take me a couple of minutes at most. But, on that day,
there seemed to be a strong glare in my office and I couldn't make out the
numbers. I twisted the paper, moved it around in my field of vision... tried just
one eye, then the other. 15 minutes later the work was done and whatever problem
I was having with my vision seemed to have resolved itself. I went and
got a big glass of water thinking that I might be dehydrated.

I wasn't doing work that it interfered with... but it worried me a little. Later
that afternoon I met with a customer in my office to discuss some new projects.
He's a smart guy. He'd ask a question. I'd start in to the answer and before
I could finish the sentence I could see that he was moving on to the next
question... and I was having a progressively harder time actually finishing the
sentences. Words were slightly out of order. I'd back up to get it right and
the words kept coming out a little wrong. He didn't seem to notice. We finished
our meeting and said our goodbyes. I immediately went to my office manager
to tell her that something was wrong with me. She, with all the love and understanding
of someone who has worked for me for almost 25 years said "well, don't
tell me... tell you doctor... dork."

the side of the road as the nurse was getting the doctor to the phone. I explained
to him what had happened the past couple of days. He said "I'd like you
turn around and drive straight to the ER and get an MRI. This is the kind of stuff
we don't mess with." So, that's what I did.

One rather small and one the size of a lemon. Something about the nature of
the tumors indicated that they didn't start in the brain. So, a scan or two later
it was determined that I have stage 4 lung cancer (never smoked). My GP came
to the hospital and explained that this was the worst time of the week to
discover something like this. We wanted to assemble the "A" team and the "A" team
didn't work the weekends." So, I was released from the ER into the care of
my wife with a few strong prescriptions and a few days to imagine all that might
be before me.

Unbeknownst to me, good friends of theirs had just endowed the Chair of
Oncology at The City of Hope. By Tuesday I was in the care of some of the very
best doctors in the world. By the following Tuesday the large tumor was surgically
removed and I was, somehow, still able to walk and talk... but not drive
and certainly not fly.

which finished off anything that might have remained of the large tumor
and zapped the small one. I'm lucky, if you can call anything about this "lucky"
to have certain biomarkers in my cancer that make it treatable with targeted
therapy... which has the potential to make this a chronically managed disease
as opposed to a death sentence. While targeted therapy drugs are a godsend...
giving me a shot at watching my kids grow up... they are not allowed by the
FAA. I'm going to have to sell my RV-10. That's where I need your advice and,
perhaps a little help.
