Mr RV at Narromine

[TechMan]

A short story about bumping into famous people unexpectedly.

 

I happened to bump into Dick Van Grunsven (Designer of the RV aircraft) at Narromine this past weekend as he was taking part in the Narromine Cup in a rented high performance Ventus2 glider. He owns a Ventus2 in the US aswell and seems to enjoy the challenge of silent flight, battling nature to stay aloft.

 

A very nice guy and his LSA RV12 will keep up with the best of them on a Rotax 912.

 

Figures mentioned were 160mph. They are still testing the aircraft.
