Default Simple end to the debate...

You need special viewers to slice dynamic range to see true HDR images as most computer monitors can't display the true dynamic range of an HDR image.

NICE plane, though!
Just post the un-retouched photo. I expect we'd see a fantastic RV7 with a uber snazzy paint job. Sure, we'd see that there actually IS a line where the upper gear intersection fairings join the fuse/leg, and the colour may be a touch less brilliant, but that won't change the fact that it is a darn nice plane.

I stand corrected... If that's a single exposure, then it's LDR and somebody did a nice job with it! Kudos to the photographer as well as the builder!

I don't want to step on Chris's thunder here, but you won't see the line where the intersection fairings meet the fuselage. There isn't one. He molded the front half to the cowl and the rear half to the fuselage.

I did this with my 7 but with the snorkel it made removing the cowl tough. Chris's 7 has horizontal induction so the cowl is easily dropped down with no snorkel to interfere.

Wait till Monday. You'll be blown away at the detail of this plane.

Default RV-7

More Photos should post tomorrow, (Monday) The one photo is "Painterly" or re-touched to look more like a painting. I didn't know that until the photographer explained it to me. I just thought the colors were a little re-touched a bit too much. I build planes, not take photos... I think its a really cool photo though.

Me, too. I really like the pics and wish I could get some pics of mine like that.

Let me just say, I'm glad you build planes instead of take pictures Chris. Though the picture is cool, I'd much rather have the plane!

Awesome work.

Saw it in person yesterday, it was awesome. Chris is quite the artist. Looking forward to seeing it buzzing my house!

Default Just saw the "For Sale" Sign

Chris: Just saw the For Sale sign this morning when I checked-in on VAF. I just want to say (at least on first look - prior to a pre-purchase inspection to verify structural quality, wiring etc.), your aircraft appears to be worth every single penny of the $129,000 price tag. I wish I had the cash on hand to meet the price right now, but I am still in the saving mode, well on the way, but not there yet . . . I just wanted to congratulate you on your accomplishment . . . some lucky person is going to be a very happy RV-7 owner.
