Default Congratulations Rudi

I would have had a hard enough time trying to make your videos, let alone build such a beautiful airplane.

Cant wait to see what your RV-12 looks like ...

That plane looks worth of every trophy - just go and grab them! Oh, you may become too busy with your next project...

Way to go Rudi! Very nice work.

BTW, those seats are pretty neat. Where did you get them?

The colors are from an Automotive Colour Chip Display: CAR=MG ROVER, Model=2003, Color ="Hot Red" and "Titanium Silver" the white is just a very bright white. You should be able to pick it up from your automotive paint mix place for the details.

The seats was locally done by an upholsterer, I gave him the color, design, templates and foam cores and all he had to do was his magic with his scissors,needle and thread.
