As I read through the info on a 12 from the Vans website, I began to wonder....what if someone built a 12 like we build our planes. You know that someone is going to do it that way!!!!!!
How fast would cruising speed be????
Ditch the blind rivets, dimple and do hammered rivets. Put a set of fairings on the gear and pants on the wheels. Keep a keen eye on things that slow a plane down. I might want more than 20 gallons though.
Vans lists the cruise speed @75% power @8,000 as 118 kts.
Imagine a 12 pulling up alongside and blowing away the boys in a Cessna!!
