Default Pedal RV Just Completed

Seems like there are a few of us finishing up our Folkerts Consulting Pedal Car projects. Here is my project for my son Cameron. It was designed to use a similar paint scheme as our RV10 and includes some nice pilot features for gauges and controls. This was a ton of fun to build and complete. Pictures of the RV10 are at the bottom.

Very nice!!! That will be an heirloom.

Did it get primed before it was painted.

Dual battery or single battery? IFR or VFR? Did you final drill and dimple or just dimple away? Fuses, circuit breakers or VPX? Heated seats or no heated seats?

Excellent workmanship as always, Mark!
