It's a helicopter to compete with Rotorway...Van's has

the largest fixed wing market, and Rotorway the helo

market, so Van's is gonna take the top slot on helos

too...using the KISS principle that Van's does, no

FADEC though, and will continue to use his Lycoming

relationship for the powerplant.



I wonder if the rotor blades are match drilled??



do not archive this nonsense!

Actually, It was leaked that Vans is partnering with Honda to supply their new aviation engine in Vans aircraft.

I heard it was a VLJ using an Innodyn variant and forward swept wing.

You know, a honda-powered motorglider might be a nice option.  To  

pick the engine of choice, Van would have a few folks shop around at  

various motorcycle junkyards to see which model engines are most  

readily available in a "used" state.  Motorcycles involved in  

accidents can be junked if the frame is just slightly out of  

alignment -- the manufacturers don't sell replacement frames, and the  

bike is considered unrideable with a bent frame.    (This happened to  

me after someone ran a red light.)



There could be a ready supply of thousands of useable engines.

I heard they have come up with a 5 part epoxy primer that we will all be required to use.  This is good because it solves the primer war, but the down side is it only comes in the color mauve so our cockpits will not be so pretty...

My guess is that this was leaked simply because Van's generally  

dislikes the RV list.  They knew they could jam it up with this crap  

for at least a few weeks.



Sigh.  What a great way to spam up the RV list.



Do  not archive.

OR he's "dumb like a fox". All this buzz & he didn't have spend one thin 

dime or expend any employee time. What better way to make sure EVERYONE goes 

by the Van's Booth at OSH. He got directly to his target audience and let 

them (US) spread the word.

"because Van's generally dislikes the RV list".

YGBSM, the RV lists has and are providing more advertising for Van's than 

any other medium, including RVator, Fun n Sun, regional EAA & OSH combined.

Denis:



Way back when, some of Van's employees most knowledgeable employees 

participated actively on the list (on their own time) and provided 

invaluable assistance to the early builders.  I'm sure they were discouraged 

by the signal to noise ratio and gave up.

OOPS, one too many "employees" in the last message.

Sorry.

Hey Scott is a "Good-Guy".   He didn't give-up, he was hounded off.   Though I really believe he still monitors the list.   He's just too smart to pipe up and get jumped on some more.

Like so many before who've been hounded off the  list.  Some of us have been too stuborn to leave; but, we've lost some  pretty good contributors.  I'd say Scott isn't  monitoring.  When one gets totally fed up, there's no reason to  return.  I left another group and never returned.  At  times, I wonder why I'm still on this one.
