The RV9 must have....
Top speed achieved was 130 knots. At one point the chase plane said he was at full throttle and couldn't catch up.

Now Vans need to work on the RV-15, a carrier kit to go with your RV-8R.

I like it!
What an exceptional airplane. My sincere congratulations.
I look forward to hearing how further flight tests go. (Let's be honest: I can't be the only one wondering "How fast?"...)
And I bet you could make some money if you were to manufacture and sell the engine mount, cowling, new fuselage parts, and whatever else would be needed for a kit. |
