July 16-25, 2026 - AirVenture 2026
RV-10s

Because I have been helping build an RV-10 for the last few years, I am giving the RV-10 its own dedicated web page.

There were many RV-10s at AirVenture 2026.  Perhaps as many as 50.

This airbrushed RV-10 was impressive.

   
Wow, just wow.
   
This pilot of this RV-10 just literally flew around the world.  See the story in the Forums page.
   
 
   
I like the maroon color.
   
Black with some orange.
   
Black spots on white;  wild!
   
I spotted this impressive RV-10 in the Fulltron Aviation booth.  Fulltron is a paintshop that will also work with you to design your paint scheme.
   
I was attracted to this plane because the top cowl was off and the painted plenum is visible.
   
A good look at the prop governor on the left side.
   
The interior workmanship was as the exterior.
   
I wasn't surprised to find out later that the builder Justin Poet won a Bronze Lindy award for this plane.
   
Get your Sam James cowl, plenum, intersection fairings and other fiberglass component at James Aircraft.  That's Jimmy, the owner, at center seated.
