Here are a few ideas (probably already stated in this thread):
Revisit the cowl design and try to lower the cooling drag by creating some kind of lower cowl baffling that would also stop floor vibration in 6,7,9 and improve efficiency
Redesign the 6,7, 8 and 9 nosewheels
Sort out documentation - particulary for older models - e.g. air dams in baffle plans for 7 and 9 apparently, but how would a 6 owner know about that? (just stick something on the Vans website)
Yep that glider would be cool - preferably electric and maybe with solar panels on the wings
Do a study on the RV6 and maybe increase max load (just 50lbs would be good)
Do long range tanks
Investigate a modified monkeybike (50-100cc cable of 45mph and can use Avgas from the tanks) that could fit in a RV6,7,9 (would have a big market for that - 500 - 1000 owners would want one)
Produce a taper wing retrofit (not sure would be much more efficient but would look cool)
Finally how about guns?
