A couple of years ago Van himself started the push. A bunch (about 10-12 in the USA & 1x Aussie ) set up this RV Flight Safety

Since then Dick Van Grunsmen has noted cultural changes for the better. To the point where the RV fleet in the USA had a better safety record in the 2011-2012 year than the GA fleet. That was impressive.

It is usually simple to knock off the low fruit. Cowboys and the best way is peer pressure not regulations. I wonder if CASA get this? It works.
