On a recent stop at the airport, I spotted a beautiful airplane and had to have 
a look.  This is a Van's RV-6, a 2-place high performer, and it had stopped for 
fuel midway between Chicago and Florida.

Here is an overall view of the RV-6:

Here, the owner is performing pre-flight checks before continuing his trip:

Here is the panel.  Note the push-buttons on the top of the pilots control 
stick:

I watched him depart, and it climbed like a homesick angel!
