				After almost 9 years with a slow build with a few years sabatical in there I got N516NA airborne on 3/30/13.  The plane flew very well with no problems.  Flew for about 45 minutes with two takeoffs and landings at different airports.
 
 
 Although its airworthy its is still not "finished"
 Thanks to everyone on this list for the help over the years and specially to David Maib for the transition training.  
 You can see the takeoff and landing from my home airport 58M at the link below.

 Good luck to everyone yet to reach this stage and hope to meet some of my fellow RV10 fliers at flying events.
