I have a cousin who is good with a Ouija board and has learned that it is in fact a kit built space capable vehicle. Van partnered with Burt Rutan to get a jump on the homebuilt space travel market.

And the A in the designation is just to throw us off from knowing it is a tail dragger?

But I'm thinking the A in the designation is for Arresting hook!

That's a good looking 8 with the Corsair wings!

Probably a nose-dragger.

Possibly but I'd think somewhat unlikely that it's DR's hope.

Probably not a high-wing airplane but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Probably not an updated and revised RV-3, but that might be wishful thinking since I've got the kits for an RV-3B on order.

It's most likely a new airplane, not a small change to an existing one, but it might use components from the existing fleet.

Most likely not a jet or electric airplane.

What does this leave?

Well, maybe a tandem version of an RV-9. Or maybe a load-hauler six-seater. Or maybe a bush-optimized and still fast side by side two-seater with a low wing, which is my guess.

Will the kit come with plans for your very own RV Carrier to practice the hook on? Might need some thicker aluminum for that one!
