How Many RVs

PerfTech · #1 10-06-2016, 01:45 PM

...I remember a thread that broke down the total number of RVs by model,
flying as well as kits in process. I can't seem to locate it, does anyone know where to find this info? Thanks, Allan..

...Now I really feel stupid! I looked over what I thought was that whole site and didn't see that. Thanks, Allan..

...I wonder if the total kit sales is available as well?

I've tracked this data, since I can be kind of a geek that way, and the 2015 production rate was this:

2015 completion rate
RV-3 6.9
RV-4 16.7
RV-6/6A 29.5
RV-7/7A 88.5
RV-8/8A 60.0
RV-9/9A 58.0
RV-10 41.3
RV-12 79.7

2016 is not done yet, obviously, but is behind this pace. Looks to be about 60% of this rate. I don't know anything about how many kits are sold, so I can't help there. FWIW
