Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

Doug Eves is coming out West

I spoke with Doug Eves today and he is going to try and get out West in June/July of 2010. I look forward to seeing Doug and his pretty RV-6 that I built. Doug keeps the plane in pristine condition and it is basically his third child. I never had any regrets selling my RV-6 to Doug as I know it's kept in top condition and he thoroughly enjoys flying the plane. You have to be a builder to understand the satisfaction you get knowing someone else is enjoying the fruits of your labor. I also know that Doug appreciates my efforts in building the plane. Besides, now I have to build one a little bit better or he will never let me live it down. I also plane to blow his wheel pants off with this one by making it faster. I hope Doug makes it out and we can explore the Northwest and BC. Maybe even get in a little fishing too!
