Updates Announced for RV-15 During 1-27-2023 Webinar
Screen grabs of just the slides listing the changes/updates (w/video clip)
You'll see two videos at the link. The first has no audio and is of higher quality. The second was shot from my phone pointed at the monitor during the webinar and contains Axel's commentary.
- EAA Archive link to listen to/view the entire webinar. (1hr 12min)
I think Van's will sell thousands and thousands of these kits. Clearing an area in the hangar now to build the wing kit (the first that will be released). Can't wait to get mine in the air, throw a telescope and tent in the back, and launch for dark West Texas skies.
v/r,dr

Bummer. Tons of two place designs. Looks like it is between a Zenith CH-750 SD and Bearhawk. Really wanted an aluminum Bearhawk 4 or at least 3 person

This looks great! For me, this is the perfect size bush plane. Can’t wait to see the kits being offered for sale.

Moving the wing, extending the fuselage, reshaping the doors, moving the engine. Seems like some pretty significant changes are required.

That was pretty much the entire purpose of the first article airplane design. Each of these changes are fairly subtle and really it’s all one change. This is improvement and refinement. It’s what we do. |

To me, this is like when Porsche and Lamborghini build SUV. But I guess times and market changes and in order to stay relevant, they will need to change with the market.*
