The work coming out of Jonathan's shop speaks for itself...and I’m glad it’s home now.
James,
Very Nice! How was the checkerboard done on the tail? Is it all painted?

Nice!! Who did your paint?
and she flies
First flight was February 8th, after almost 4 years of building.
Thought I would share this with those that begin to think the process will never be complete.
Nice work and congrats! What propeller is that?
The prop is a Sensenich 3 blade ground adjustable carbon fiber prop. https://www.sensenich.com/shop/airc...o-360-ground-adjustable-high-speed-propeller/
The engine is an IO-360-C1E6 with Superior cold air sump, Fly EFII electronic ignition and electronic fuel injection. Added the EXP 119 kit which makes the intake line right up with the EFII system.
Another fantastic Evoke paint job. Couldn't be happier.

Good looking plane! CongratsA few remaining items to complete this project, but paint is a major milestone.
I got my tail kit at the end of October 2013 and spent many enjoyable years building. Evoke Paint Design came up with the scheme and Kracon @KLHM just finished the paint. Time to go fly!!!!

My bird is finally complete - just out of Evoke Aviation's paint shop in Gadsden, AL. Jonathan and his team did a bang-up job - I couldn't be more pleased with this essentially perfect paint job! (Photo credit: Jonathan McCormick)

When my 14 got licensed and started flight testing, I thought, finished. After fly-off and paint, again, I thought finished. Now with 70+ hours and lots of adjustments, final placarding, again finished. Most significant change was adding louvers to lower cowling - dramatic cooling improvement with no loss of airspeed. Getting ready to install pneumatic tailwheel. Never completely finished I guess.

It is Cummings. I had Wheelcraft coat it with a chrome like finish (same as on my Corvette wheels) to get the bright finish. They offer a dark chrome finish which is interesting. Very easy to clean. No polishing required.
It is Cummings...
Decided to keep it simple, but elegant (IMHO) . I like how the hue changes in different light environments.
Lancaster Aero in Smoketown, PA did an excellent job.
The louver set is from GAMI/TATI. It is what they use on their Cirrus turbo-normalized engine. Don't have PN, but you can just describe it and reference my airplane if you talk to them. There are other generic louvers offered out there. Here is some very quick before and after flight data at similar altitude and power settings.

Jonathan, can you confirm if it’s one of these? (See link below). You stated that the one you’re using is for turbo-normalize, but both of the ones in the link are for non-turbo. I couldn’t find a part listed for the turbo-normalized. Also, were you able to purchase just one, or did you have to get two?
