I keep wondering what Van's will do next for an airplane.. I must admit the RV-14 puzzled me, considering how good the RV-7 already is..
It doesn't really feel like there are any holes to fill in the Vans line of aircraft right now, but I can't see them sitting around doing nothing.. so I've been wondering what Van's is going to do next? I think it would be cool to see him develop a real 2-place IO-540 powered speedster. Something designed to work up in the Glasair III or Lancair Legacy speed ranges but in all-metal construction.. Or maybe a new tapered wing for the RV-8..
Just dreaming out loud here..
