Wasn't all that long ago that many VAF RV-3 fans were saying that if Van would only do a QB -3 they would build one in a heartbeat. Had the S&F tornado in 2011 not totaled my -3, I would most likely still be flying it. Apparently I lacked what it would take to build a second one, so I eventually chose to build a Panther instead. It's currently at the 90/90 stage. The most RV-3 like version of the Panther started flying a couple weeks ago and now has about 10 hours. Short wings and a O-320. If you would like to see how it stacks up against the RV-4, have a look here. You'll find a total of three flight reports in the link.
