RV 6/6A

Der Side-by-Side Sitzer die RV- 6 und ihre Schwester die RV-6A mit Dreibeinfahrwerk wurden 1986 eingeführt und wurden bis heute das am meisten verkaufte Kit-Flugzeug. Van´s hat viel Zeit mit Erbauern und Besitzern der RV-6/6A verbracht um herauszufinden, was sie an ihren Flugzeugen mochten und was nicht.
Mit neuen Fertigungsmethoden und unter Einbeziehung der Erfahrungen der RV-6 Besitzer entwickelten sie ein etwas besseres Flugzeug, aber gleichzeitig ein weitaus besseres Kit: Im Jahr 2001 wurde die RV-6/6A von der RV-7/7A abgelöst.
