Booming Economy
 
Economy is coming back, Manufacturing in many markets booming like we have not seen in along time in this country. I am seeing wage competition in the midwest, WOW! whoever would have thought we would see that again in the USA. More folks working than ever before. Be a great time to introduce a new Kit!

If I was deciding for Vans, the highest priority would be to get the RV8 and RV10 up to the same standard, before focusing on whatever the RV15 will be. :)

The -10 plans are pretty good. I can't speak to the 7-8-9.

My thought is they should create standard plug and play panels for the 7-8-9-10 like they offer for the -12 and -14.

Maybe they'll consider bringing back the -6... :) Or at least making a tapered wing upgrade...

Absolutely. I don't know why they wont make upgrades for existing models. A tapered wing would be perfect for the 7/8. I mean who doesn't like upgrades and customization ?!

I think third-party vendors have mostly captured this market by now.

The guy trying to write the business case for a brand-new wing with limited sales potential and no common parts to older models ;)

If Vans made it easy, a lot of builders would choose the simplicity of ordering the "no-brainer" package from Van's.

I think. ;-)
