Van's Aircraft - Go aluminum and go often!

The year was 1973 when the first RV-3 was flown out to Oshkosh for the Experimental Aircraft Association fly-in.  As of late 2011, there have been over 7,400 completed Van's Aircraft kits.  Van's Aircraft is by far one of the most well known and respected kit aircraft manufacturers in the world.   The Van's Aircraft designs have always been seen as the sportier side of the experimental aircraft community.  With solid aluminum construction and great overall performance, it is very easy to see why Van's has such an excellent following.  

Fly Kitplanes Blog has information below on the current range of Van's Aircraft available to the kitplane builder.  For those who want to build a very sporty 2 to 4 seat kitplane, with well established performance, then take a look through the Van's Aircraft range....I am sure you will find something you like!
