Where's the Info from Van's?
 
When I was working on my ill-fated RV-6 some 20 years ago, the RVator was a great source of information from Van's. Every issue had 2000-word and longer articles from Van and others on building, flying, what was new at the factory, and general interest in aviation and homebuilding.

The final issue of the RVator said they'd continue to communicate through Van's FaceBook page and website. I don't see much updating either place. Am I missing something, or do they just not have much to say after so many years?

Oh yes good old Days. Just last week looked back through the 24 years of RVators again. Not a fan of FaceBook..

I hear it is quite similar to MySpace.

Only yesterday I found an article from RVator by Van about the need to master slow flight. It was a good read and left me wondering how one can find old RVator articles? I am also not a FB user so hoping there are articles available somewhere else . . .

The archive of the last 3 years that were published can be located HERE


Most (it looks like 2 years are missing) of the years previous to that can be purchased inexpensively on THIS CD

For what it's worth, you don't have to be a facebook user to view Van's facebook page, so you can still check it for news and info.

Just uploaded there today is a nice video of the RV-14 first flight (a bit delayed because of other higher priority projects) highlighting Adam B's video editing skills....
