They say, "Home is were the heart is." In that case there can be no place nearer and dearer than Van's Homecoming for a RV aircraft builder or pilot. The weather was good as was the turnout, about 70 planes. I only counted 2 RV-10s but others may have shown up later.
The event was held in Independence, Oregon with the help of EAA chapter 292. Time and again I over heard attendees commenting on how great the breakfast was on Saturday. Great job guys and gals!
Van extolling the virtues of the RV-12. I did ask him which plane he flew the most the RV-10 or 12? He said, "First is the sailplane, then the 12, next 10 and last was the RV-4. To date he has about 150 hour on the 12.
So if you couldn't attend not to fret! Here is a compilation of video I shot on Saturday.
A cross country IFR platform with an eye on reducing the pilot's workload. The ability to carry four real people and luggage. Keep it light, keep it simple. In other words be on the leading edge but not the bleeding edge of technology.
RV-12
A short to mid range VFR machine that is fun and easy to fly. The ability to carry 2 real people and some luggage. Keep within the Light Sport Aircraft guidelines.
