Need to deep dive into these videos....father passed away unexpectedly in 2019 while he was working on an RV-6a project. I have the project stored in a hanger hoping I can learn enough to finish it one day. Your videos are of the closet kit I have been able to find on TH-cam that show very detailed visual instruction on the process.
@KaretakerAero Also need to say congratulations on being near the end. That is a massive accomplishment and something to be very proud of. Can't wait to hear about its first flight!
Cost and space. I do not want to spend stupid money on a professional paint job. (How would I get the plane there?) I do not have paint equipment, knowledge nor the proper space to do it myself. Vinyl is cheaper and if I screw up; easy to start again. I can work on it in my house and weather doesn't matter. However, someday if I have the money, I would like to have this exact paint scheme painted on by a pro; but I bet by then it would cost as much as the plane itself.

Thank you for the kind words. If you decide to take on the project, I am available to help answer any questions or assist anyway I can.

Much obliged!
Why vinyl instead of paint?
