Has anyone tried to use the aircraft directory on the kitplanes website? It looks like an app I used to use on another website that worked really well, but the one on the kitplanes site doesn't work very well at all...
It has a search function that you can input filtering criteria like; kit or plans, cruise speed, landing gear configuration etc.....but it doesn't return aircraft you would expect it to return... I tried several different searches, all of which SHOULD include some, if not all of Van's airplanes, but none were ever returned... I don't get it...
I was wondering if anyone else had use this tool and could possible tell me what I am doing wrong, or maybe tell me where the original app is located so I can use it because this one doesn't seem to work...
You can access it here if you have a esubscription of kitplanes...

Bill,
I was able to find all Van’s models after logging in, which is required to use the search engine. The login is free through Feb 15, 2007.

Hey Ken...
Yes I have paid and was logged it... What I am saying is the search engine does not work right...
Do a search, and only choose;
kit or plans = kits
landing gear = trigear
seats = 2
materials = metal
and tell me what you get...
Makes it hard to search for all trigear 180 mph aircraft if it doesn't even return RVs...

Bill,
You’re right; it looks like kitplanes.com does not recognize any Vans models as trigear. If you use “any” gear configuration, you get hits on the RV’s. Maybe someone should let them know, probably just an oversight in their database. Makes you wonder about the rest of the data though.

I didn’t like what they had, so I made my own. Theirs is also laced with errors. I fixed all the mistakes I could find, and I encourage others to update me with corrections, so we can all make this an ongoing, valuable resource for all of us. I also encourage people to spread it around so all can benefit from it
