The RV-11 sure look nice I first flew solo with an K-8 only 16 years old. I read through the whole "story", and it seems that the concept is a 15m single seat mototglider with somewhere around 35/1 gliding ratio. There probably is a market, but I think one major problem for most people is that it requires a looong shop, at least 8-9 m (22 feet) to build the wing. I think practical things like that has to be solved, and the -11 will sell.
I asked Van about the -11 at SnF. He said it is in the back of his mind, but on the back burner. Basically, it is the market. He mentioned the Sonix motor glider and the lack of sales.

bummer - I'd so much want to build/fly one of these...
