Thanks to my wonderful wife Anel, my endearing daughter Anri and my AP inspector Steve Boshoff!

My brother who considers him somewhat of a photographer took some pics below.

EAA Sun and Fun (South Africa @ Tempe Bloemfontein)

HI Rvators an Update,

Well RV zulu 7 attended the (South African) EAA Sun and Fun at Bloemfontein Tempe.

She 'took the show' and won 2 trophies:
1) First price: Grand Champion Kit Building
2) First price: Grand Champion Overall for the show.

Thank you very much for the recognition, I feel so humble and proud at the same time! :eek::D

Way to go Rudi! I don't think any of us that have watched you along the way would of expected anything less.:)

I really like those Jeff B LED lights in the wing tips. NICE!
 
Nice Job!

Rudi ... Congratulations on a build well done! Great pictures ... awards were well deserved.
 
Congratulations!

Congratulations Rudi.

Having watched your progress I'd bet that you'd win at Oshkosh too.

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... ;)
 
Just amazing. One of the nicest I have seen pictures of. What color red did you use?

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.
 
Way to go Rudi! Very nice work.

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

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. :D
 
Well done!

Congratulations Rudi.

We've been following your build progress closely and those trophy's are well deserved!

If you are flying in the vicinity of Kitty Hawk, please come and show us your beautiful plane ;)
(We are building weekends in hanger 118)
