What ever happened to the RV5?

Where the RV1 and RV2 the original pitts and van's original modification?

I was cruising through channels last night and saw something on the Discovery Channel that showed an airplane manufacturer riveting wings.

They used a piece of masking tape over the head of their r ...

My wife and I have a 69 7KCAB that is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. Glad to see a new list pop up for Citabrias. We're based in Oakland, CA.

My dad and I are also building an RV-10.

I just foamed the walls of my house for insulation and went through a pretty extensive search. There's a big difference between the open and closed cell foam. Its looks like you're looking at closed ...

Michael and others,

My wife and I are considering a job in Munich and I’m wondering about the costs of flying in Europe. Last year we were all abuzz with the possibility of user fees and a syste ...

Lew - You're not alone. I started to build before I learned to fly. Careful, its very addicting. Of course, the problem now is, go out and have fun flying or stay home and build - tough decision bu ...

I've been thinking about getting a personal locator beacon (PLB) and it looks like there are two on the market, Spot and ACR. Does anybody have any experience with either of them? Recommendations? ...

I remember an article in the RVator awhile back about some guy who used suction cups on the inside of the window and wired them to an anchor somewhere in the center of the plane to get added/better pr ...

Thanks for the congrats.

Phil mentioned sisterhood for some and I thought I'd comment on it.

My wife joined the 99's, an organization of women pilots, and absolutely loves it. She finds a lot o ...

I work with a number of captive insurance companies and have talked to Rick on this and he's done a great job of thinking it through. Looking at Van’s Hobbs meter, there are now 102 flying RV10’s ...

I was chatting with Stein about his favorite pair of strippers (wire strippers for all those thinking dirty thoughts - his answer was Ideal Strip Masters, by the way) and saw the Vertical Power sign b ...

The one thing that really made me go "Cool!" this year was Vertical Power. I know they've been out for a couple months now, but seeing a live demo really made me realize the value, and safe ...

Good luck on the move! Our project is now in its third location awaiting a garage to be built. Needless to say, progress is slow when you don't have a good space to work in.

My dad and I are making good progress on the quickbuild wings (I know, they came almost done, but it still feels good) and we're starting to seriously think about the panel. Our thoughts are centerin ...
