I built an RV 10 using the standard build method, took four years and over 2500 hours. 😊 I now have about 650hrs on the airframe. N700SE .

As 63 year old metal fabricator with 40+ years building race cars, this would be my choice of plane to build! I find this factory absolutely amazing!
-
I built my RV-8 from scratch in less than 2 years. I am flying it for about 240 Hours now. AMAZING AIRCRAFT! FLIES AMAZINGLY WELL! I LOVE MY RV-8

I've been a Aircraft Structural Maintainer in the Air Force for 14 years and i'm always watching fabrication videos like yours to learn about new technologies. We recently recived a 1100 Ton Hydraulic Press and it's made a huge difference in replicating 30 year old parts for the A-10 that aren't manufactured anymore. Seeing that CNC Turret Press is an absolute game changer!

Hopefully Van will be able to stay in business. A great company that is so necessary to GA.

Grew up watching my grandpa build his 6 tail dragger. When I went up in it was one of the best experiences in my life. He also got me my young eagles certificate when I was about 6 in a starduster II!
-
I got my first look at an RV-12 at the airport one day last year. The fit and finish was absolutely fantastic as you like to say. I hope VANS can keep building kits for people who want to build a fine new airplane. My old Ercoupe is all I can afford right now. Thank you for SHOWCASING this great company and these great airplanes.

An incredible story of survival sharing during this flight. One of the best pilot stories I've ever heard. EVERYONE should watch this! It is emotional, frightening, poignant, instructional, and a lesson we should all think through BEFORE we ever encounter a situation like this ourselves. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I used to work at one of those third-party companies. Vans aircrafts are awesome
-
We have a RV-7A, fantastic aircraft. Built from scratch. I wish the best for Vans, they are great people top to bottom. Great video Jimmy.
-
I built one of the First customer built RV-6s. First flight was July 1989. No pre-punch parts, I drilled and dimpled every hole in it.
-
I can't get over the visibility in that cockpit. What a remarkable little plane!
-
I built a RV-6 back when nothing was punched and even riveted my wing spars. Kit was $10K back in 92. Took me 8yrs to finish. Built it VFR for $32,000 and then flew it for 8 yrs and 700 hrs. Lots of fun , but college funds became a priority. No regrets.
-
So glad you are showing Van's operation. With their announcement recently that they are having current financial hardships, it's important to show how big their operation is and the attention to not just new kit purchases but the ability to make a part from prior kits purchased decades ago. Try doing that with Beech, Piper or Cessna.

Grag is an amazing man. He helped me a lot when making the SWS Vans series for Flight Sim! Give it a fly before you even buy!
-
Jimmy, love this video. Vans are so awesome. (I think you guys should invest in one of those gyro camera stabilizers. It would up your video quality tremendously.)
-
There are a lot of Van's Aircraft YouTube videos out there. This one is the best! Good Job Jimmy's World!!!
-
Outstanding video! I actually saw the damaged RV7a in a hangar in Boulder, so appreciate the story from Greg.I fly an RV6 and am building an RV10 (for the family!). The grin does not go away!
-
Even more impressed with Van's aircraft after seeing this behind-the-scenes video. Very professional operation. Jerry

The people make that company great and in turn their products are phenomenal! I truly hope they weather the storm and come out the other side stronger.
