I have a cousin who is good with a Ouija board and has learned that it is in fact a kit built space capable vehicle. Van partnered with Burt Rutan to get a jump on the homebuilt space travel market.

And the A in the designation is just to throw us off from knowing it is a tail dragger?

But I'm thinking the A in the designation is for Arresting hook!:D

That's a good looking 8 with the Corsair wings!

Probably a nose-dragger.

Possibly but I'd think somewhat unlikely that it's DR's hope.

Probably not a high-wing airplane but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Probably not an updated and revised RV-3, but that might be wishful thinking since I've got the kits for an RV-3B on order.

It's most likely a new airplane, not a small change to an existing one, but it might use components from the existing fleet.

Most likely not a jet or electric airplane.

What does this leave?

Well, maybe a tandem version of an RV-9. Or maybe a load-hauler six-seater. Or maybe a bush-optimized and still fast side by side two-seater with a low wing, which is my guess.

Will the kit come with plans for your very own RV Carrier to practice the hook on?:D Might need some thicker aluminum for that one!
