| Subject: | ...a most mysterious RV... |
A quite unusual RVI believe it was an RV-6Avisited the Orcas Island Fly-In (WA)
this past weekendone about which I would like to know much more.
It is BY FAR the quietist RV I have EVER seen and just barely heardit was literally
whisper-quiet. Ive been told it had a 4 bladed propeller though I could not
confirm this to be true.
In fact, it is the quietist airplane on take off Ive ever heard in my life, other
than a couple of electrically powered ones.
Id be most grateful for any information on its owner, power plant, and propeller
anyone can post.
Fred

It flew over my house and I too wondered if it had an alternate engine, a
muffler or what. It was amazingly quiet.
I usually can ID an RV flying by just by the sound. I would have had no
idea what this was if I hadn't seen it too. Hopefully someone knows the
plane and can tell us about it. It looked like it was headed in the
direction of Puyallup on its way home from Orcas.
