Hello everyone!
This topic isn’t exactly a suggestion — it’s more of a question.
The RV-4 had the RV-8 as its successor.
The RV-6 was followed by the RV-7.
But what about the RV-3?
I think a slightly larger RV-3, powered by a 200hp engine and designed for +8/-8g, would be at least interesting.

I personally think the RV-3 is a beautiful airplane, and with a bit more power and interior space, it could be very promising.
The single-seat market will be left without representation now that Van’s will no longer offer the RV-3 kit.
And proof that a product in this category would have demand is the Panther LSA.

Which resembles an RV-3 fastback.
Please forgive any grammatical mistakes — I’m Brazilian and not fully fluent in the language.
My best regards
