First off you skip the -13 and make it a -14. Then you either go for a small niche market like many of the ideas mentioned or you expand it to something that has adequate market reach.

I'm another supporter of a tandem LSA, with aerobatic capability if possible (i haven't studied the rules enough to see if aerobatics are allowed).
Something we can fly on a Cessna 150 budget, but looks and flies more like a mini RV-4/8. Something small, light, and efficient (RV-12) but still exciting and with the 3rd wheel in the correct location (tail...)

That would be neat... something like a modern LSA version of the PT-19. Open cockpit, wind in your hair, Aerobatic (no LSA limits on that btw) 100 - 110 kt. cruise... THAT would be COOL!

Maybe the KK1 (1-09 KITPLANES) would be fitting. A cheap local flyier. I would build anything that Ken designes.

Wow a streched 9! Enough room and carrying capacity for two adults (one perhaps oversized) and two sets of golf clubs! Sold!

RV X
I think if Van and his merry men are short of something to design they should consider a Tow Plane for gliders. I am sure there is a reasonable market for an experimental tow plane that members of a gliding club could build, maintain and operate. Here in Europe the gliding movement is quite strong. However there is an aging fleet of tow planes most of which are no longer in production. As they are all certified airplanes they need qualified mechanics to maintain them. This means they are very expensive to operated. Obviously the folks in Oregon are the highly qualified designers but possibly something based around a beefed up RV8 with a new wing would be worth considering.

Me too, a larger 9 would be nice, sacrifice a little speed for weight and room,
2" wider and possible third person/Skis/kitchen sink

Econo-10
I'd like to see an RV-10 variation with some longer wings, and optimized for 180-200 HP.
