First UK RV10 flys at Turweston
After a couple of years in his shed, our intrepid Chairman has been allowed out with his latest creation, the UK's first RV10. With final assembly in the 'end' hanger at Turweston, we have witnessed its transformation from alu-chrysalis into 4-seater touring butterfly (that's probably pushing the creative metaphors too much, but it looks the 'biz').
Anyway, it stands up very well alongside the sleek Cirrus SR racing tourers in which it has shared space. Stan Hodgkins has flown the test schedule, with mostly minor tweaks being required. Roger reports performance figures matching and exceeding expectations. With painting now underway, the finished article should appear very soon. Check out the full report in the next LAA magazine.
