Looks like most people only have good things to say about the Vans RV's. So now the next question would be: RV7, RV8 or RV9? (or I see there is now even a RV10 on the way!)
MikeSamual, what diesel engine are you planning to install? (Wilksh??) Would also like to hear from you why you chose the RV9 and how you ordered your kit, how much was shipping and how long it took?
I have no doubt that an RV project with be realy great fun, and you can buit and order it in stages too!
My wife bought me a aerobatic trial lesson for my birthday in a Cap10! Great fun. Loved doing loops, but flying upside down is realy not for me, so aerobatics is not a must on a kitplane for me (although I wont say no to it). Most of my flying is in the local area with my family, the ocasional steep turn, and when abroad, doing long x-countries.
Does anyone know how RV's handle rough grass landing strips?
I would also still like to hear from people who owns RV's to get an idea about the actual running and operating costs.
