business and finance aviation industryHow long does it take to build an RV?
Based on reports from completed projects, we estimate current Standard Kits will typically take 1200-1400 hours over 18-24 months. A QuickBuild Kit may cut this by 35% or even more. Actual completion times have ranged from 70 days for a QuickBuild RV-8 to well over 20 years for some early RV-3s and RV-4s.
Similarly, you may ask, how long does it take to build an RV 10?
Most builders will find it takes them 2-4 years to complete the RV-10.

A one-car garage is enough to build most aircraft but a two-car garage is even better. How Long Will It Take to Build? Kit aircraft can be built in as little as 500 hours to as many as 1,500 hours.
Cost to build: The current price for the RV-10 from Van's is $47,730 for the RV-10, and $34,900 for the RV-14.
