T-6 pedal plane
Very nice! I was glad to come across some plans for an aluminum pedal rv. It's quite light and easy to pedal and it was a lot of fun to build. It was a great way for me to get a feel for building a real one. My grandson loves it. I plan to take it to Sun N Fun and let him pedal around there. Trying to foster an aviation interest in him.

My second build
I completed the RV pedal plane in Feb of 2017. Made a few modifications to the original plans.... removable wings, landing gear, and horizontal stab for ease of shipping. My twin grandsons live in Reno and I wanted to be able to ship it out to them. Of course, it is an exact replica of my RV8, "Miss Claire". This one was S/N #25. Pictures as soon as I can figure out how to post them.

My Dad and a Friend have built a RV Pedal plane for my sister son. So he learns early to handle a taildragger
He made a video about the construction and how the boy is driving around. I really like the fact that he always cleans the plane after using it
Check out after 13min!

Beautiful job and what a fantastic gift! You can truly see how much he loves it. This will be his son's "first plane" some day.

This single video made this whole project worthwhile. This is what it is all about -- the smile.
Best,

Grandson?s RV
Another completion, used a giant scale prop and spinner, belt driven from pedal crank as per EAA plans.
2 yr?s Birthday, he?s too small yet to reach the peddles.

Nice! That's quite a progress in RV building Bruce. When I visited on Labor day the fuse barely started  |
