Can we also fix the fact that the RV-6/6A page has specs for the RV-7?

We are in the same boat. Kinda like Microsoft Windows making large changes between versions instead of small improvements like Apple macOS between version.

Yea. I?ll stick with my custom BLUE hats.

I really like the modern website and the re-branding, I'd like to congratulate with the staff for all this hard work well done.

I love the safety emphasis that Vans wanted to share ! I think that, as part of this great tight-knit group, we have an important role to play with.

[cit. We fly fun, fast, cool aircraft ? and people are watching. They will follow your example, whether you want them to or not. Be the positive example and a good role model, not the accident statistic.]


ps: yes, I love the photos too :D

Overall, I like the new site. A modern WP theme, noticeably faster page load times, etc.

However, I don't especially care for the orange 'VA' portion of the new logo. It communicates no association with RVs or even aviation in general. In graphic design contests I've hosted/created in the past, that sort of perfunctory amateurish effort wouldn't have made it out of the first round.

RV-4
 
Vans used my (now Nick M.) RV-4 picture as example in their advertisement of the -4. That made my day.

...Do I need a new hat?

Oooohhh, I can see it now - we'll have the "Old-Timers" hat versus the FNG hat, to signify those of us that built our planes back in the "mine your own bauxite" days.

I like the new site as well. I especially like that I can now point friends, in particular non-aviator friends, to the RV-9/9A page and they can see large beautiful photos of the aircraft. I always felt kind of embarrassed that I had to Google for photos of the airplane that are not directly from Van's site.

Nicely done!

1) I really, really, really like the new website look and "flow."
2) I think you should change the "Order a Kit" Button to say "Kit Ordering Info" or something less daunting. There is a lot of useful information on that button (like kit prices and lead times), but people (especially old timers) might be afraid to click on that button, for fear they will actually be placing an Order!

Overall, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT Job!

New site looks great. One minor gripe - can the photos accompanying first flight reports be moved to the end of each report, rather than preceding it? Putting them ahead of the date and report heading makes them appear to be associated with the previous report.
