I think if I put 2 and 2 together. On the VAF front page there's a photo with this caption:

Oh.. on the VAF front page its just a shot of the panel.. I would never have known it was the same aircraft. I was searching for pictures of the exterior. Honestly I didnt even look very closely at the panel.. I am a long way from that, and paint too I guess.. but that thing floored me when I saw it

I'm just guessing. I saw a blue wing in the background so I thought it might be it.

Yes, that is Peter's airplane. Nice guy, I have been keeping him and Danny King hydrated all week when I see them standing by their planes.

That indeed in Peter's airplane. He spent a lot of years on it and put in a lot of hours. Like Danny's airplane, this is not one of those airplanes where someone wrote a bunch of big checks - it was lots of hard work. Just shows you what you can accomplish! There were a number of nice planes this year in attendance...and if you didn't get a chance to stop by the Garmin booth and talk to both Peter and Danny, you missed a really neat experience (both guys are just a hoot)!

It was nice that Garmin had only experimentals in their booth, and only experimentals that people actually built as well as doing an excellent job on. To top it off, both of the guys are great folks. Aside from forgetting more about flying than many of us will know, Danny has the effect of making you smile within about 15 seconds of being around him - plus, he was rockin the SteinAir shirt this year!

Cheers,
Stein

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Stein and Matt thanks for taking such good care of us all week! I was worried it would get to be a really long week but every day was better than the last thanks to you guys!

We had a great time meeting new people and answering questions ranging from details on ignition timing to "Is that an RV?". We all had those questions at one point on our RV journey right? I hope we helped convert a few new builders along the way.

Peter that is a beautiful airplane! I wish I could have stuck around long enough to talk to you about it. Did you paint it yourself too?
