Brian here, out in eastern California, gold country..

Back in '05 or thereabouts, set out to build a STOL King, but life got in my way while tooling up. Now, looking to start again, but now torn between the Wittman Buttercup and Tailwind, depending on how the new Sport/Private pilot rules shake out. If I gotta be a Sport Pilot, then the Buttercup, if not, then the Tailwind..

That said, I do have occasional flashes of a BD6 powered by an 4AO84 engine..
