The rv 7 was the replacement of the rv 6 replacing the rv 6 in 2001.
One witness stated that.
Yes the rv 7 is capable of aerobatics.
Several witnesses near hurricane utah reported that they heard the airplane s engine and that it sounded like it was making power changes.
With a cruising speed around 200 mph at 75 percent power at 8 000 feet and a low fuel burn the rv 7a is a good plane to fly on a trip.
But the rv 14 is different.
Since the beginnings in 1973 rv builders have completed more than 7 400 van s kits spanning the line from the original rv 3 a of which around 600 were built to the current crop of aircraft.
The mustang ii and vans rv 7 are flying side by side at 6 500 feet and the pilots of both airplanes push the power wide open at the same time.
