Arlie, thanks for visiting us here at Vaca Moo yesterday, it was great meeting you. Remember when we were talking about a picture that I said looked like it had a wood spar? Look at these two pictures. That's what I was talking about.

Oh, I see what you mean? No, the spar is aluminum anodized gold. That?s one way you can tell if it?s a pre built Phlogiston spar? The older RV-4?s required the builder to assemble the spar. Those were not anodized.

Wow, stunning! Love the way you angled the instrument panel, and the side consoles w/switches are very nicely done as well.
Nice choice on avionics too (full disclosure, I now work at Dynon)!
