Love my 6A. I’m 6’5” 235, wife 5’2” 130, 60lbs baggage and top it off with fuel and go 3.2 hours anywhere at 160-180TAS. We absolutely love it. At first I thought I wanted bigger. Till we passed a 235, Cherokee 6, hanging with early cirrus, and many other planes. Yeah, that last trip to Tahoe from So Cal in 3 hours did it for me. It rips and is super fun. I do wish it had a little better glide ratio it like to sink for sure with them little wings.
I own an RV-3B, finished in 2021 (I'm not the builder) Put about 60 hrs on it so far. It is like nothing else, totally love it! Sometimes I miss the passenger seat, but hey. It has a carburated 320 up front, fixed prop. I have no problem seeing why Vans aircraft are the most popular experimentals on the planet; the RV grin is not just a myth! If you have never experienced one, you know what to do. Peace and love.
I have owned an rv3, 2 rv4’s, 2 rv6’s, Rv7 a and a harmon rocket. I currently fly an rv6. It is the most practical one of the bunch considering price vs performance. There is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a used homebuilt rv series airplane if you get a qualified mechanic to perform a thorough prebuy inspection. You can buy one much cheaper than building one. Other than the one comment about not choosing a used homebuilt, your video was excellent. Well done.
woah thats a whole fleet! Yep, my point was that if you don't have a qualified mechanic that knows all ins and outs of the rv.. i think its just me wanting to be sure that everything was assembled perfectly. By the way, what are your thoughts about the rv7, comparing to 6?
@@bigmetalbirds the rv7 was the replacement to the rv6 making it easier to build. The rv7 is easier to repair due to the pre-punched nature of the kit vs the jig and drill at home nature of the rv6. Other than that, the performance is nearly identical. They are both fantastic aircraft.
That’s what I got was a 6A. OMG does it rip! It also is fuel efficient, cheaper to own and small to store. I load up with the wife and bags and top the tanks and fly up to 3.2 hours anywhere I please. TAS with IO320 FP around 160-180. We loved it so much we sold our QB RV10 kit. We love needing half the fuel, half the maintenance and a 1/6 of the cost to purchase.
