I have been thinking about buying or building a LSA for a long long time and could never make up my mind. There are just so many models available claiming that they are the best, cheapest, easiest to build (yada yada yada) that I almost gave up. I've heard about the Vans products but really did not know much about them other than the "RV GRIN" everyone suppose to get when they get one. Well I happened to go online and looked up registered Van owners on the FAA site. When I looked up RV12 I found that one was registered less than thirty miles away. I contacted the owner expecting to hear someone rude or a hang up, but instead I met Howard Germon who had the "RV Grin" and invited me to his house to see his plane. I went over to his house and when he open the garage door I was hooked. It was absoluty the most beautiful airplane that I've ever seen not like any LSA that I ever have seen before. I spent a couple of hours on my visit and just listened to Howard about his plane and the construction process. He owns serial number 1 and he just got it back from the paint shop. WOW! Howard did not build his RV himself because of his business schedule but he knows every inch of the plane as if he put every rivet in it himself. His enthusiam of the product and support sold me. I'm happy to say that I ordered my kit and I am the future proud owner of #625 and waiting for delivery
. I want to thank Howard, because if not for him I probably wold still be reading magazines wondering what I should buy. I look forward to being a part of the RV family and I don't even have it yet but I already have a grin.
