Default Looking for More Photos

Anyone know this plane and where to view more images of the design? I'm hoping to do my RV8 in a similar design.

Default No Joy

Thanks for the name of the owner and found a nice VAF thread with lavish praise about the design and found a few hits with Google, but, no additional photos. It sure is a pretty RV7 and the paint/photos are spectacular.

Default I'll check

He's my next door neighbor. I'll check and see if he's around today. He can probably sent you a few more. The plane resides in Texas now.

Amazing. Plus more accolades since just "Amazing" is considered too short a posting.

Default location???

I'm not sure which I'm more envious of..the plane ( work of art!) or the idea that he probably lives right on the other side of the wall in the fabulous hacienda!
..anyone know if this is an airpark? ( that mere mortals can't likely afford?)

It is an Airpark alright. A very nice one at that. It's Stellar Airpark in Chandler, Arizona to be exact. www.stellarairpark.org I'm sure Darwin can elaborate.
