New personal Best of 10.71 @ 126.8 in my Farm Truck

haha. you'd think so right? but no, as of now its gray. and will likely be that way for awhile. i had thought about going blue with it, but likely will just do something simple like a satin black or something of the like.

and that looks like one nice hotrod. something tells me that wouldn't fit in my budget at all though...

I could have a Nice RV-7 for the 80K+ I have in my car since getting it in 2004.

this is true. but you also have that other important spendy thing (atleast i hope... ), a license to fly it.

I do have that license around here somewhere.

So the RV-4 is a tandem, the RV-6 is a side by side, what is the RV-7?

Kewl, just a little bigger than the RV-6. A friend up in Oregon built an RV-4 but placed a 220 hp engine with a variable pitch prop. Had to have a special cowl made but it would boogy. He was a P-51 pilot in the Air Force so he like to push it hard. Watched him do a Lumchavok over the air strip where we flew our RC planes, then that afternoon he said come over anytime and I'll take you for a ride. I politely said maybe some day. I really didn't want to barf in the back of his plane.

79 coupe? Is it blue?

Well I would like my next project to look like this.

If that the plane I think it is.............that's a LONG project!

I helped a neighbor build one of those over 3 years in his hanger down the street.

1000 to 2000 hours depending on the kit you buy.

Just 6 hours a day for a year and you have it done - that's 2,190 hours

Not if you were as anal as the Warthog pilot was! LOL!

It was a RV4. Don't remember what engine was in it, but it was fast as hell. I didn't ride in it until it had over 100 hrs on it.. LOL!
