That's Van's newest design...the RV-42. You get a wing kit and...well...that's it!
Gear is fixed, brakes by Nike.

Now let's not get into a debate on engine alternatives.

Default Huh?

I'm CERTAIN the FAA will require a 40-hour test period on that!

That guy has a big share of smarts....WOW! Incredible. The one major problem I see is that his head is the one object that sticks out in front.
All those rock hard mountains he flies over!!

Whew!

Oh, Darn! A 40 hr test period! Your not exactly going to be taking passengers or going cross-country with it.

Default 40 Hours? That's just the first question...

Will it require a multi-engine rating?

Is that considered retractable landing gear?

Is a life insurance policy also hull insurance?

Is looking in a mirror required for annual inspection?

If certified for IFR, would a colonoscopy be valid for a pitot static test?

And what is VMC, considering the only rudder(s) are arms and legs?
