Vans Aircft RV-6
Manufacturer: Vans Aircraft
The Van’s RV‑6 is a two‑seat, single‑engine, low‑wing kit aircraft produced by Van’s Aircraft. It was the first model in the RV series to offer side‑by‑side seating and a nose‑wheel option, and it first flew in 1985. More than 2,700 kits have been completed and flown. The RV‑6 and its nose‑wheel variant, the RV‑6A, were replaced by the improved RV‑7 in 2001, though kit components remain available for builders.
