Default The cool RV with the Radial? Where is it?

I found a beautiful RV with a radial engine on it a few weeks back, and for the life of me I can't find it.. I believe it was cream colored with maroon accents.. can anyone point me to it? I appreciate it!

Default Nice airplane...not an RV

The Radial Rocket is not an RV, however nice it might be. It's a composite airplane.

I'd love to see a link to a radial-engined RV, though.

Default Maybe You were thinking about Model Specific - Rocket

There was a posting recently under Model Specific, "It's Starting to Look Like an Airplane". Definitely not an RV.

Pardon my bad, I thought it was an RV. It's a beauty! Yes, it would be awesome to put a radial on the front of an RV. I sure do like that retro look.

Default Spartan Exec

I've always wondered how a radial RV-7 or -9 might look.

Maybe a bit like a Spartan Exec.

Cool

That is GORGEOUS. Pardon this expression, and I'm a newbee here, but I saw an ad on TV for medicine that would cure erectile disfunction, and I do believe that that Spartan Executive does a better job for me.

In the long run the Spartan will be cheaper and less troublesome than what the Viagra will lead to.
