Default Dakota Kid RV-8 Search?

I didn't make it to Oshkosh this year, but a buddy said he saw a RV-8 that was named "Dakota Kid." He said it is very nice and looks extremely similar to what I am thinking in reference to my ideas on my 8. Does anybody know this person or have any pictures of this airplane? It would be nice to chat with the builder/owner. Thanks. Dave cccbuntin@insightbb.com

I have some pics but can't post them now; they are of "Dakota Boy", not kid - dunno if there was another plane there.
Here is a link to the owner's info and a picture:

Default Thanks

Thanks Thomas. I was just getting on to post that it was Dakota Boy, not Dakota Kid, and I noticed your post. I'll try to track him down now. If anybody has his info, it would be nice to see more pictures of this nice airplane. Dave

I chatted with Bob about his airplane "Dakota Boy" and what a super guy (like all RVers). Thanks for the link Thomas. Dave

No problem.
I do have a couple of pics from OSH if you're interested. I will try and email them to you tonight...
