I realize that this is an impossible question, but I'm just looking for
some guidance.

How long should it take to build a Quick Built RV-10?

Everything new (engine, prop etc...)

IFR cross country aviionics.

Working on it 16 to 20 hours a week.

IIRC, Vans projected something like 2500 hours for the standard kit, and
they project the QB's offer a 35% savings. The math says 1,625 hours..

If you've built an airplane before, you'll probably meet that estimate if
you don't get carried away and install a Starship Enterprise panel. If
you've never built an airplane before, I'd guess 2,000 hours plus time for
any extras you add. If you want an Oshkosh Grand Champion quailty airplane,
figure 3x the time...

My RV-6 took about 3,000 hours. I built the engine and painted the
airplane. Those two things (especially the paint) added 100 or more hours.
Working in a small shop didn't help...
