Default New sign kit video / RV-15

New thread to avoid drift...
Van's new sign kit video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MU-z...ature=youtu.be
shows the sign being assembled in the prototype shop? My question is which of the two aircraft in the background is the RV-15 prototype? I think the secret is out...

Nope.

That video wasn't even shot in the same country.

Check out Steve's videos on his RV-14 build, at http://flightchops.com/ to get the full story.

I know a lot of people think we are not too smart at times, but we are careful with what we do or don't show in the back ground of photos

Just to be clear, the new sign kit is NOT what we had in mind for the RV-15...

And just to be clear, there is no intention to imply that the RV-15 is a light box

We cannot say or not say whether or not the RV-15 does or does not exist.
