Congratulations, Don!
I've used your website many times for reference. Thank you for that!
I'm into my 15th year and am looking to finish it this year, so I don't plan on challenging your time frame. 
Enjoy the fruits of your labor now! |

Now the fun part !
I'm right there with you, as my almost 17 yr. old RV-4 project became an airplane a couple weeks ago. I am glad I stuck with all the ups and downs in between to get to the finish line ! Congratulations on your "pink slip" and maybe I will see you at OSH...(RV area!)

Indeed, MORE PICS!
As a fellow VSB*, I can appreciate your joy at having finally completed your project.
However, do know that the best is yet ahead of you. I've read this line so many times -- as have you -- and you're about to learn the reality of it:
"IT WAS WORTH IT!"
I went up yesterday for the first time in a month (crappy winter weather around here) and it was exhilirating! I craved a cigarette after landing. 
Here's hoping you countless hours of cruising along, looking around at your workmanship in wonderment and smiling at your accomplishments!
Congrats.

Congratulations Don. That paint job sure looks familiar. Could it be a replica of a certain Ercoupe?
Persistence pays off, maybe there is hope for me finishing my project as well one day.

Congratulations and thank you Don! I've been on my 6 for 13 years and I just attached the wings and ready to mount the motor! I don't feel quite as slugish any longer!.

It looks brand new!
It looks really good for being so darn old. 
Congratulations. Be careful and enjoy your creation. |

Don, congratulations! I'm coming up on 11 years working on my -6A, and you've made me feel better. Just a few more wing bolts (I think somebody's coming into the hangar and taking them out when I'm not looking), finishing up the baffling baffles, and a couple of fairings and she's all done.
