I know this is sacrilege on the RV list Bruce but if you like the RV-6 I
suggest you consider a FALCO or GP-4. Both are plans built with performance
better than the RV-6/7/8 and more beautiful than any of the Hershey bar wing
RVs. I looked very closely at both these airplanes before finally choosing
an RV-6A. I thought an airplane kit with most of the parts already
fabricated would go together more quickly than a plans built airplane (kits
are available for the Falco but when you add up the ridiculous prices you
end with somewhere around $100,000.00, and that's just for the airframe). I
was wrong about that, it has taken 10.5 long years to do a slow build RV kit
but soon I'll be flying my Corvette with wings and I'm excited about that
(especially after getting a bunch of hours in Van's transition trainer last
month). Yes the number of RVs has gotten to be huge in the past decade but
it is an extremely stout airplane with wonderful flying qualities that is
affordable and insurable. Come to think of it, why not build an RV-7? The
matched hole kits are more affordable than any other kit on the market and
they go together quickly and easily. Good luck with solving your dilemma.
