YGBSM, as my Wild Weasel partner would say. Below is a direct reprint copy
from the Van's site.
Wonder how many people at OSH are looking, asking question about the
"new" -8 prepunched format compared to those drooling over the prototype
RV-12. Prepunched RV-4...maybe...but that would screw up all the HRII
builder sales Van's does. Where are photos of the RV-12 ? ? Somebody has to
have taken some. Are they taking "escrow" orders for the RV-12 yet ? ? Can
you get/fax/e-mail me an RV-12 order form ? ?
Now that would be a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. KABONG HRII waiting for the
RV-12.
"In RV-7/8/9/10 kits, rivet and bolt holes are pre-punched into all the
parts. It is hard to overstate just how much labor and difficulty
matched-hole pre-punching saves. All part alignments, fastener spacings and
measurements are set at the factory. When the builder aligns the holes, the
parts must be in the correct position. An RV builder is assembling an
airplane, not building one from scratch."

Hey listers, did you catch the line after Tom Olsen's
name...............RV-10 "Flying".........? He has absolutely made the point!
The -10 is, as he
says, "a poor man's Cirrus." And it will never compete with a certified
airplane on a level pricing field. That is what we all love about EXPERIMENTAL
AIRPLANES.
Tom was criticized for mentioning some anatomical items from the lower
extremes, so I won't mention what I was "laughing off" when I read the current
issues of magazines espousing the Mooney Acclaim to be the fastest piston powered
single-engined airplane in the world. They claimed 236 knots on one trip at
flight level 250. That was at 94% power and 22 gph. And bless you Gretchen,
(Jahn) with only two people on board.
My Harmon Rocket II with 30 less horsepower will blow the doors off the
Acclaim. It will fly it at 206 knots at 75% power at 12.8 gph, but I fly it at
65%
power burning only 9.3gph and 186 knots at 10,000 feet MSL. Do you want a
piece of that? The very best part is that I only invested one fifth of the
$495,000 price of the Mooney. (Yes! It is glass cockpit, with traffic alert,
coupled autopilot, and IFR redundancy.)
Having flown both the RV-10, and an SR-20, I would love to express my opinion
of which is a much better handling airplane, but I have too many friends in
Duluth.
Want to worry about something? Advocate to your Congressman not to eliminate
Experiment Aviation from our vocabulary.
I just love it! Signed, "Cheap... Pilot"
Les Featherston Harmon Rocket II "Airgasm" has 278 hrs and is not the
fastest P-P-S in the world.
