AirVenture 2017 - Homebuilt Aircraft

This Pietenpol would be a fun little plane to bop around in.  The original Ford A engine is neat but I don't know about that radiator location!  Right in the pilot's line of sight.
   
A Durand Mark V.  Sort of a homebuilt Staggerwing.  This plane has been flying over 30 years!
   
Not sure what this is but it is unusual.
   
Van's RV-10 demonstration ride plane taxiis out while three Aeroshell T-6s do a formation takeoff.  Always something going on at AirVenture.
   
Taxiing planes waiting on the Navy's P-8 Poseidon to be pushed back into Boeing Square.
   
Paul C. from Essex Skypark and a fellow EAA Chapter member scored a primo parking spot for his Super Cub.
   
This is the planes first AirVenture and is deserving of a second shot.
   
I liked the paintjob on this One Design homebuilt that is aerobatic.
   
A SubSonex looking good in the Homebuilder Building.
   
Another homebuilder building had people actually building a Zenith CH-750.
   
In another section of the building, a guy was doing some gas welding on a steel-tube airframe.
   
Aeromarine Skyote
   
This is homebuilt camping!
   
Yeah, like those tundra tires!
   
You don't see too many of the Burt Rutan design composites anymore but there are still a few.
   
Rans S-10 Sakota.  Designed for aerobatics!
   
This Dyke Delta is an AirVenture regular.
   
Hatz CB-1 Biplane.
   
Nice looking Air Cam on floats.  Man, you could have some fun with this plane!
   
The single-seat Panther is looking good.
   
Another SubSonex.
   
Mitchell Lock's RV-14 getting a lot of attention.
   
Classy paintjob on this RV-12.
   
Fancy panel as well.
   
Kitfox with 180 horsepower engine, wow!
