Welcome to the main area of the Aircraft Web Site!

Please feel free to navigate through our web site. Starting at the top of the menu bar to the right, you can get a comprehensive introduction to the most popular kit aircraft available.

Please note that throughout this web site, hyperlinks are identified with black underlined text. Graphic buttons are also hyperlinks.

Our web site is designed with consistency and ease of navigation for all users. Each and every page in this web site contains a menu bar on right that allows you to go anywhere in the web site. Pages are grouped into sections; for example, the "Models" section contains pages describing all of the RV aircraft models available. Some pages contain sub-pages to allow information to be broken down into manageable segments. For example, all aircraft model pages contain sub-pages describing the design, specifications, and performance of the models. The available sub-pages are listed at the top and bottom of the page, if applicable.

At the top right corner of every page, you will find two arrows. Using these will allow you to quickly jump to the previous page in the site (left arrow), or the next page in the site (right arrow). Clicking on the Home button will return you to the first page of the web site. At the bottom right corner, you will also find left and right arrows, plus an up arrow to return to the top of the page.

Below you will find descriptions for each of the sections in the web site. We hope you enjoy your visit, and learn how Richard VanGrunsven, founder of Van's Aircraft, has implemented his ideals of Total Performance into the RV series of aircraft:
