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.

Chap across the road is building one, most all the quick-build stuff.
He's a specialist dentist and can take every wednesday arvo off as well
as weekends. He has built two RV6s, currently still owns and flies one.

He is meticulous in his work, buys only the best of everyhing and spends
just about every Sat/Sun/Wed arvo on the plane. He's been going a
couple of years and is currently completing the panel including EFIS/MFD
(engine etc all installed). He will get friends (in the business) to
paint and do some of the interior. He still thinks he has 6-12 months
to go?

So FWIW, experienced, but meticulous (fussy?) builder - not much change
out of 2.5-3 years elapsed. This I think is a better guage than average
number of hours - so if you put the weekly free time in you could be
flying in 2008 (of course he does take the odd weekend off to play with
his RV6)

HTH,
