I think an all aluminum one could be done quite a bit lighter (though probably more expensive because of the material costs)

Who would be interested in a fully prepunched pedal plane kit that could be solid or blind riveted together
I am in, as long as it doesn?t cost what my 6 cost me.

She used to fit inside but she's grown and she clearly has no rudder control !!

Have we perhaps stumbled upon the RV-15?

Just like your RV-6, it will cost more than you expected. 😉

Would make a far better practice kit than a light box or a toolbox IMHO.
Bonus points for also getting family engaged ...

Wow that?s a project and a half.
A pre punched pedal plane would make the perfect RV practice kit. I could see them getting out of hand pretty quickly. I was about to rig up a pedal assist motor connected to the throttle before I came to my senses.

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.
