Earnest,

For what it's worth, I just got back from day 1 at SWRFI and
there IS a Dyke on display!

I have to admit, it is a cool plane.
Very different.

But it took 26 years to build???

(Somebody was goofing off!)

That sounds like N78BS, Bernie Schnanowski's bird (just look at me name
dropping like I know people).

Are you sure they didn't say that it's been flying 26years, which is
right about the age of N78BS I believe.

I'm about halfway through (quit laughing). 1500 of a 3000 hour project,
and I've only been at it two years.

Yep - Bernie was the guy I talked to.

Nope - he said it only had 12 flying hours on it.


Richard

Must admit that I haven't a clue as to which bird you saw. Did you get
a tail number? It's definitely not N78BS, though.

Hang on, let me get my camera plugged in....

Ok, she's N131KD.

Like I said, this is the first one I've actually seen in person.
I noticed some changes from the original.
For one thing, the forward underbody is done with glass.
It looks nice that way too.
