RV-15 in the wild

[mill2978]

I saw the RV-15 at my local field doing some touch and goes yesterday. No idea what the configuration was, but the climb performance was putting the RV Grin on my face from the ground

Looking forward to seeing it progress!

So very interested in it, but alas, old age is creeping up on me and by the time the kits are available and one is built, I'll be 6 feet under! LOL

Surprised to see the RV-15 is still flying. With all the hoopla, I envisioned it jammed into a dark corner gathering dust and rust.

I am as well..you'd think they might want to focus on what's on their plate (ie-late orders, botched manufacturing, etc) than on wasting time on "the next thing". Why not get the current "thing" right first?

Because it is a revenue stream. As a business, they need to look to the future as well as the present.

If you are referring to me, my name is Axel. Also, there is a difference between being fired and being laid off because the company filed for bankruptcy. I was not fired, let’s not put bad info out there please. My family is still picking up the pieces from this situation. Thank you.

I apologize for the mis-characterization and the mis-spelling.

Trent Palmer made a reference in an interview a couple days ago that he was going to sell his Freedom Fox and build “something“ for the future. Could be anything, even including an RV15.

I'm in this for the long game. My Cirrus partner wants a bush plane and he wants to build it. I loved building my -12 and am looking forward to another project. We're being patient and waiting for the RV-15 to be released so we can get what we both want.

Have you entertained Kitfox? Might be available long before the RV-15. I’m an RV guy too, but the stats on those KF are pretty darn good.

I have to imagine whatever it is, it’s a very noticeable step up. YouTubers don’t really ever make lateral moves as it doesn’t generate as many views. I assume the 15 is more inline with Kitfox price and performance. Though he’s mentioned before he really doesn’t like tandem as much so with carbon cub out I’m not sure where he’d go.

In writing that I just had an idea. He’s made videos with Mike Patey before. Maybe there’s a collaboration on the horizon.

Awesome doesn't rust.

lol. That's what I'm building while I'm waiting on the -15. Figure I can fly the Kitfox throughout the build cycle too versus waiting a very long time.

I just finished a Carbon Cub while we're waiting.

I took a factory tour last week and the 15 was front and center with all the other demo planes. Dick himself was in and out of the cockpit doing something and I heard somebody say that he is the one flying it sometimes.

If I ever build an airplane it’ll be with one already in the hangar. I wouldn’t be able to handle the anticipation and not being able to fly during the build process.

Congrats on your current and future project!
