What are your missions like? Why did you settle on the RV-10 with so many other great kit options to build?
I thought this would be interesting. I picked the RV-10 mostly because it's similar to what I've been flying - the Diamond DA-40. I don't do many long cross-countries; most of my flights are within ~300 miles. I wanted an excellent IFR platform and a plane that would be comfortable to bring a dog with me and still have some space for a travel bag in the back. I want to use it to enjoy the southwest's landscape and natural beauty in addition to getting somewhere to spend a couple of hours or a weekend.
I've been second-guessing my choice - would an RV-8 be more fun? Would a KitFox/Cub clone be better for sightseeing? Should I go crazy and build an MX Aircraft MX2 and commit to endless aerobatics? I think the RV-10 is probably a good middle ground.
I'm curious why you all love the RV-10. What's your mission like?
