Caution
None of the figures contained in the following tables is to be used for performance calculations nor for flight planning!
Each flying RV is an individual, and as such has its own flight characteristics and performance numbers which can only be acquired thru individual flight testing.
Maybe it’s been done here before, but couldn’t find it… Maybe it’s totally useless, maybe not… Here goes…
It always surprised me that some essential data, such as typical useful load, is not to be found on Vans official site. Also interesting some never told facts such as the ever decreasing speed ration, look at the RV-3B figure and compare to other models...
All data presented here are as published on Vans official site about 2 weeks ago when I started playing with. Some of the figures are calculated by the spreadsheet, some are missing as not found on Vans site.
Reason for Editing:
Site provider migration + data update, see latest post in the thread, thanks.
