A New 6!
 
After almost 5 years and a lots of great adventures, another RV6 gets a Special Airworthiness Certificate. My wife Aimee proudly holds it. This photo absolutely would not have happened if it weren't for her, Charlie, Scott, VAF, and DAR Phil Devlin.

First flight soon!
Lorne :D

Wow
 
Is that an angle valve 0360? That's not fair! I think you'll need to request a larger test flight area. John

That is going to be a screamer! Congratulations!

It's the IO360-A1A non counter-balanced crankshaft. We put an 11 row oil cooler to help keep the angle valve temps down. This is my first rodeo so we'll see how the temps pan out.
