The part that I could see certainly looked lovely, Jim.
Two or 3 years ago I had a trip in a home-built machine, one of the
gorgeous foreplane machines with a pusher prop designed by a famous US
designer (but whose name escapes me at this time of night :-)). The
builder was an engineer, not a pilot, and the attention to detail was
fantastic.
It was very strange to take-off, very heavy on the little side-stick
control column, but great fun and very fast. It was fore and aft
seating so it reminded me (a little) of heavier and vastly faster
machines than what I fly now (a Grob 115e).

(and no, I didn't look very closely at the lighting setup on the
machine in which I had a wonderful joy-ride :-))
