RV's are great - even though they are made from aluminum.........  :)

Yup I'm building a Vans Can. They handle better at our narrow airstrip and
their ailerons work below 90 kts. If I Lived on a real airport I would have
kept it.

The thing that really stopped me from any further consideration of auto
engines was the issue of getting insurance here in the US. Apparently
insurance companies are unwilling to provide liability and/or hull insurance
for auto engine Velocities and maybe other experimental aircraft, although
they may provide insurance when you're parked in a hangar (that is insurance
against theft, vandalism etc).  I like flying but not enough to risk all my
assets if I had an accident/incident that was my fault.
 
Pam Sharp at AUA has knowingly insured my Soob powered Velo for years now.
Incidentally the soob package is being removed so the new owner can install
a leakosaurus.
