N196RV was built by Robert Sipes of Silverdale, Washington in 1996. Two owners later (January 2010) I bought it and I am having a blast with "Tweety."

new to me
 Built by Ralph Koger in 1995. Just arrived in Springfield, VT with a little over 400 hours on her. Looking forward to flying her as soon as I can get some transition training from Jan Bussell in Florida. |
The X...
After 10 years I finally finished my "RVX" project! This is a hybrid I built from church donated RV4 wings and tail and a 6A fuselage converted to "standard" configuration. I also used RV4 gear legs, 380X150X5 tires, airboat racing 0-320, MT fixed pitch and kept it light. 945 lbs and it flies like a RV3! It's lighter in pitch and roll than my HR2 and reminds me of my RV4 I finished back in 97, FUN! I borrowed the paint scheme from an MAF Kodiak!
Rob "Smokey" Ray HR2 RVX  PS: Woo Hoo! |
The mythical RV-5 comes to life! Congratulations.

"7 Smokey Ray" looks great Rob! I'll bet its fun! Man, you're filling the Swamp with cool airplanes...gotta get to FL and visit! Nice work!
Cheers, Bob |
X marks the spot
Thanks Don/Bob,
Appreciate the kind words, I too wanted to call it an RV-5 but it turns out Van built one and the pieces are in the rafters of his hangar. Oh well:) Smokey |
