Hey! well done. The first flight of an RVsomething!

Which one is it? They all look the same to me.

Russ

Oh, its sidebeside, so must be a 6. or a 7. or 8.

My apologies, its a 12. Just think, when the 13 comes out you can divide a B to look like a 1 and a 3!

RG Your knowledge of RVs is sadly lacking
The 2 seat, side by side models are 6,7,9,12 and 14
The 8 is tandem seating and there is no RV-13

If you're confused, the LAA did an article a while back:

I think if you look at the time of RG's post it might explain a few things.....
Otherwise, perhaps there's little hope for him?......
How weird?
