If that rumor is true, what a machine to haul rescued dogs to their new homes!:)

New RV?
 
I know that Van has been working pretty steady on a glider or motor-glider. So that would be my guess...

Isn't that the RV-11? (http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-11int.htm)

No telling

Who knows? Heck someone could have registered this to make us all crazy! You would think that a larger plane would leak out somewhere. I am just going with the safe bet. Like maybe Dick HATES the number 11 and decided to rename it. Ha ha ha!

There has been evidence to suggest that it will have an IO-390 so I don't think it will be a motor-glider. Unless they planted the information to throw us off. :rolleyes:

I heard today from an impeccable source that it will be at Oshkosh. So no point in speculating, in a week we shall see. :)

Maybe...
 
According to FAA Registry, single engine, 2 seats. Someone said a Lyco 390, so maybe an improved -7a? Sounds serious if Van is giving the report himself....

We will soon know.

IMHO. RV 9 High cantiliver wing, tricycle gear, Lyc O-233, 2place, side by side, EAB kit that will qualify in the light sport category would knock it out of the park.

RV-14
 
Stopped by KUAO today...

I was told that there is to be "an unveiling of a 'super secret' on Monday afternoon". :eek:

Also heard some news that may make me hold off on the -12 kit purchase for a year. :rolleyes:

Keeping the ear to the rails. Just hope the train sees me in time to stop.

RV14
 
Sounds like we will know on Monday what is rumor and what is real.

I have heard everything from a three seat RV with an IO-390, to the electric self launching motor glider. Interesting what people have come up with as speculation. We will know Monday, if the RV14 is actually what is to be unveiled.
