Doug, I was walking around Oshkosh this year and there are quite a few other planes exactly like what your poll shows - although not a vans which would be better.
What is missing is to scale up the current Van's designs and make a kit of a 6 place low wing like a Bonanza, Cherokee or PA-32. It should be scaling what Van's already has. It must be single engine with the barn doors on the side for cargo and be able to carry a lot of weigh. I can see this type plane being built all over the world for work of all kinds.
My son-in-law was at Oshkosh with me this year working the booth and his repeated comment was that you can't bring other people with me in the RV-14A I am building now.
I think my next project would be to "re-build" a 6 place but it would be much better to build a RV16 as described above. Then of course you need to work through the licenced A/P issue??
Doug can you please make a poll for the 6 place and see if it viable?
Thanks, Larry
