My 18 year old RV-6A is born
 
It's been too long in coming. I had my inspection this week and N708CM now has a pink slip in it. If I fly to OSH I am not sure where to park it. In the RV section or with the antiques.

VERY NICE!!!
 
Congrats Sir. My -8 is now 4 years old and I'm only on the wings. Folks like you give me hope that my project will see completion. I'll make sure to look for it this year at OSH.

Fly safe.

Persistence pays off. And it is definitely not an antique; it is brand new. (And pretty, to boot.)

Congrats Don!! I recall your name on the RV-List way back in the early 90s when I was first thinking about building an RV. It is really heartening to learn that you finally finished this baby.

Good luck with the flight testing. Don't rush now.

Congratulations! I just flew my 6A for the first time August 2010 (not painted yet) after 17.5 years of building.

Congrats!!!
 
Congrats Don!

How long does it take a good bottle of scotch, rye, or wine to age?? Your aircraft looks great! Enjoy it!

Cheers,


Don

Thanks for the encouragement!
 
Congratulations Don,
I am working on the wiring and fwf on my very slow buld -6A. I have been at it off and on for 15 years. I see the end in sight and you helped me stay positive about my build!
Congratulations and I'll look for you at OSH.
