I spent a LOT of time here checking things out and if I were to post every pic I took, I would fill the entire 1st page of the forum.  That in mind, I tried to pick out 5 to suit everyone's taste.  The only one I am remotely familiar with is the Aircamper...

OMG, the owner deserves to be slapped for that Storch-ripoff.
This is like modifying a warbird with a turboprop!
Gosh!

The Storch is as far as I can tell a standard fuselage, jacked up U/C, Cub tundra tyres and a Super Cub nose (presumably with the Super Cub engine)...
It kicks botty  8)
I'm still looking for the ID of that first one, bugging me that I can't find it!

I found the details on that Super Storch. Buy the kit here. http://www.storch.com.au/super_storch.htm

PS. Not sure I like the look of that Sonex. Much prefer a Vans RV6 myself.

That Sonex looks like it would fall apart if you touched it...  ;)  I'll take that Air Camper any day.
