Haven't seen a picture in a long time.

My RV-6 was built by a gentleman in Michigan,with the assistance of Art Chard. It has a few interesting changes, such as extended baggage and 58 gallons of fuel.
The article on the "prototype" was very interesting.

Flew to Ogden with friend to see this. He flew it. Looked good, very twitchy, Nice inside and out. RV 4 wings, RV 8 tail. They did a great job of documentation of the 40 hour fly off. New parts through out. Has a 206 windscreen. Lots of room inside. the landing gear looked light.

Any witness? to the high wing
So, is there a photo? or witness? of this high wing RV? or is it a hoax? UFO? misprint?

I think I met the builder
Many years ago I was at a small airport near Salt Lake City. I think it was Woodscross. Met a frustrated builder there. I think his name was Bob Barney. He started building an early RV8, finished the wings and then there was a holdup on shipping the fuselage. He got frustrated and wanted to continue building so he designed and built a high wing using the 8 wings, and empannage. I never saw the finished airplane
If anyone knows more about the story or if I got it wrong please let me know. I believe Bob passed shortly after finishing the project.

I saw it, or something very much like at the Arlington Fly-In a number of years ago. I didn't quite catch it for what it was, so didn't look all that closely. My Dad mentioned it to me a few days later.

Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to the rescue. Couldn't find finished photos, but some build photos are there.

A pilot based at Buckingham airport in Florida bought the plane in 2010. My friend ferried the plane from Ogden UT to FL. The new owner was also on board for the trip to FL.
I flew over from Vero Beach to visit my friend and hang out for a few hours. The plane was built in Bountiful UT. It appeared to be well built. However, neither pilot was pleased with it's flying characteristics.
I don't know of anything of the plane's current whereabouts or status.
