My little brother built one of these aircraft over several years. The company that produces the kit is in Aurora, Oregon and they're having a fly-in this weekend. My brother's flying his up from Texas.
There's sun in the forecast so I hope to be ripping around the coast in this RV6 all weekend. Groovy :D
My brother has another cool shot of them airborn on his web page's "about us" tab

can you attach a bomb to it? If so I'd be interested in dropping one on some people

Yep Osh Kosh. I remember the size of the plane and the dice on it made it stand out.

He assembled it in sections, ie aeleron, wings, fuselage, etc. Awesome to see it in a garage in parts, then to actually be flying in it. It uses a stick and just fingertips will send you where you want to go. Way fun :D
