Love the new site. I've been saying that i will buy a kit and become an RV builder, not just a flyer, in a few years when the kids are out of college and I have some more time at home (closer to retirement). But now I'm thinking if an "RV-15" or rather "RV-18" is released similar to what DR has been discussing, I may have to have one sooner

What about the RV 5
I thought was the glider was -5. No -11. No -13 superstition? There will be a -15 maybe that's the Super Vans Bush Plane we see in the new website maybe thanks to DR.

"RV-11 is the Van's Aircraft designation for a proposed single-seat touring motor glider design similar in layout to the AMS Carat. The prototype RV-11 uses the wings of an HP-18 sailplane mated to a specially built fuselage."

Unlike the -11, the -5 actually flew (and is supposed to fly again) - single seat, low powered, designed as an LSA long before there was an LSA....

Someone did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-18T
There was even one used around here in air shows along with a YAK 55, a father son team. Bud and Ross Granley.

RV-X/XA
Remember in algebra "X" is used for the "Unknown." So the "RV-X/XA" is the "Unknown RV."
Well, it's "Unknown" to the masses, but it may be "known" to a few... hmmm.
Fun times!
