Oshkosh #4: The Homebuilds

[Wing Nut]

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...







Very beautifully done!

WOW! What am I doing working this week when there is such a wonderful show going on!  :(

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

BIIIGG wheels on the last one...Have to agree with Bjorn on it though...

Rotty is right the 3rd is a quickie..there's an fs model of trhat one around if anyone would like to have it

[Wing Nut]

I still don't know what that first one is...  :P

[ozzy72]

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!

[Wing Nut]

I found it.  If you type any tail number into Google, the first reply is almost always from the FAA...

Don't you just love that last one? I HAD to take a pic of it!

[Wing Nut]

Looks like something from a cartoon!  ;D

[Rifleman]

That Sonex looks like a good bit of fun...........

[Hagar]

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.
