I can't pass up an airplane thread. I owned 7 airplanes over a 25 year period. I built one of the first Glasair's (a real pain in the rear) and a RV6. I helped build around 10 other RV's (with various stages of involvement) and was an EAA Technical Counselor . I also spent a year building a Glastar with it's owner in my shop before moving to Wyoming.
In the 90's I helped rebuild two Piper L18-C's (90 hp Super Cub, no electrical) that were in Italy for 30 years and then bought one of them when we were done. I used it to check cattle, mineral and windmills on my ranch turning a 12 hour drive in the truck into an hour of great fun in the Cub.
The top picture is my RV6, the next a RV6A I helped build in Gillette and the last is a RV6A I helped with in Spearfish.
I sold my RV6 in 1999 and haven't flown since and can no longer obtain a medical or justify the expense of airplane ownership.
