It seems like you either love 'em or hate 'em! I haven't met someone who says they are "okay". I am talking about the RV Series of aircraft. They typical knock is that there are so many of them flying. The most common reason for liking them is there are so many of them flying! Kind of funny really! This just in from EAA. Perhaps you already read it?

VAN'S DELIVERS 2000TH RV-7 KIT ---
Gary and Joyce Hamilton became owners of the 2000th RV-7 kit sold by Van's Aircraft on August 26 after visiting the company's headquarters for a scheduled factory tour and demonstration flight. After the ride in an RV-7A, the couple placed an order on the spot. When the invoice was printed, they realized it was the 2K milestone RV-7 kit. Considering that Van's began shipping RV-7 kits in March 2001, that averages out to about one and-a-half empennage kits per day, every day, since day one. The RV-7 joins the RV-4 (3000+), the RV-6 (6000+) and the RV-8 (2,200) - in reaching the lofty mark. The RV series is the most popular line of kit aircraft in the world. "Joyce and I have just finished a two year project, building a home on an airpark," Gary said. "We plan to work together on the airplane and we're looking forward to another project that will probably be more fun." For more information, visit http://www.vansaircraft.com.


What is your take on the line of Van's aricraft? Do you love them or hate them?
