Rick,
Hate to burst their bubble, but the RVX already exists. When my late friend Arvil and I combined an RV4 and RV6 kit 18 years ago, we christened it "The RVX".
There will be no A version...
The RVX
Van will simply have to come up with a new model designation and cool design, see RV-15 thread for ideas...
My guess is it will be a UA(R)V...
