Default More Photos...

Here are a few more showing the paint and panel...







Unfortunately the EFIS was powered down, but you can see what it looks like with the juice turned on here.

Dan:

Congratulations on completing your third plane! As with your other two, your newest one looks great.

You'll have to come by and have a look at my plane soon. I'm getting close and I think it will actually fly in 2012!

the only thing holding me back from building one is; i have been spoiled with pre-punch kits

Default Wow!

I WANT ONE! Very nice. Wonder what Van's sales would look like if they spent some engineering time and pre-punched the kit.

Looks like your having fun as you should. Beautiful Airplane!

Congratulations "Danny Boy". I must have arrived shortly after your first flight. You must have just left the hangar,the cowling was still warm to the touch. Glad everything went as planned. Took the 8 up for an hour of fun in the cold clear air. I'm afraid the 10 will be lonely for awhile. You did a fantastic job, she's a beauty!!
