Has anyone ever asked vans if they are developing a slider that can stay open in flight??
How about someone redesigning their slider to withstand open operation??
Sure seems like a logical next step for the vans line of aircraft......
This picture made me think of it...

And to balance this proposed open cockpit for RV's, you would need bombs hanging under the RV too!!! I'd be all for it...

You could swap out the entire canopy. Great Fun!

Where did you get that picture? I took that picture in about 1971 of Van in his RV-3 flying along side of my VW powered Chris Tena Minicope. I was inspired to build a RV when Van would come by me and do loops around me. I knew that someday I would build an RV. Well it took till 1987 for me to start and 1989 to make the first flight but I am still flying my RV-6 18 years later. I see people with high times but I only have about 1200 hours on mine in 18 years.

Hey Vincent John took me up in his 4 with the open cockpit once. What a blast and windy. He was always having fun doing things like that. What a great guy.

Jerry,
I wish I could remember. It was on somebody's website. I've had it for
quite a few years, and kind of forgot about it until this thread got me
thinking.
And, yes, I know it was Van. I didn't know that you took it though. It
is a cool pciture.
Jeff
