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!

Great shots in all 4 posts, keep 'em coming.  Smiley

Alas, I like many others, must rely on the kind efforts of those who,  like you, take the time to share their experience at AirVenture.

But watch out, I'll be there next year.  Cheesy

If you should run across the 'Howard Club', say thanks again from the guy who spent 2 afternoons taking photos while they were at 3CU.  Also thanks for their fly-over of my house as they departed Monday morning.  Wink (and maybe post a few more shots of the Howards)

Waiting in wide eyed anticipation for more.

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.
