THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Vans Aircraft RV-10

The RV-10 first flew in 2003. It combines a low wing, fixed tricycle gear and a substantial enclosed cabin, with kits supplied for amateur construction. It was the first four-seat aircraft in Van's established RV range.

Homebuilt aircraft can differ in engines, avionics and interior equipment. The X-Plane implementation consequently represents a particular cockpit choice, including the avionics and trim controls documented by Laminar, rather than a universal factory-standard RV-10 panel.

A G1000-equipped homebuilt in X-Plane

Laminar's RV-10 guide documents stick controls, electric pitch-trim commands and a G1000/autopilot panel. That avionics choice identifies the represented homebuilt aircraft. A later special livery does not, by itself, establish a new control interface or different underlying aircraft systems.
