Randy Debauw, Rob Hickman, Paul Grimstad, myself and many other RV builders from three Oregon EAA Chapters had the pleasure of the annual tour of the VANS Factory Thursday night. I was surprised no one has posted the thrill on this list by now. QB Fuselage kit 398 was being packed for shipment. Kits 400 through 408 are on racks in inventory and ready for delivery. The factory has 90 empennage kits ready for shipment. Dick was absent and touring the Alaskan Northwest Passage on a cruise ship. (Well earned though).
The big excitement was Tom Green and Ken Krueger sharing the visuals of the new RV-12 LSA. Tom Green was most gracious as the host and Ken was quite informative. Two passenger, spar behind and above the buttocks of the Pilot and Co-Pilot (it appears capable of two full frame bodies), fuel behind the spar (inside the fuselage), detachable wings, large forward hinging canopy, direct foot control of the centering nose wheel and yes – all assembled with Pull Rivets. Both the mahogany “proof of concept” mock up as well as the yet to be flown aluminum prototype were shown. Rotax 912 powerplant. Sorry you all missed it.
Hope your wives and mothers are enjoying their day.
