Correct me if I am wrong but are not most of the chapter guys
into experimental airplanes and not antiques and war birds?

I think we need a national organization for only experimental airplanes.
Perhaps that would improve the focus.

Well, to be honest, Paul, if I could afford a P-51 or P-38 or Spitfire etc. I
would have one instead of building an RV-6.  The war bird continues to
inspire me.  I love seeing them at air shows and in Sport Aviation.  The RV
is simply the best compromise I could come up with between nostalgia, looks,
speed, cost, availability, buildability, versatility and personal taste.

You mean you are not honest sometimes Dave?  Perhaps you should run
for political office. Oh well since you are building an RV-6 I guess we
should let you join despite your interest in war birds :-)
