Following up on an article published in the February/March 2024 issue of Midwest Flyer Magazine (https://midwestflyer.com/?p=16790) noting financial problems by the leader in homebuilt aircraft, Van’s Aircraft, more than 81 percent of the thousands of Van’s Aircraft customers awaiting deliveries, have signed updated agreements to pay more for their orders, company officials announced on YouTube February 17, 2024, extending until February 22, 2024, the company’s deadline for others to do the same. Price increases will be at least 30 percent greater. (AOPA, Jim Moore Reporting).
This willingness on the part of builders to pay more for a Van’s Aircraft RV is testament to the quality and popularity of the homebuilt aircraft, and the credibility of its inventor, Richard “Dick” VanGrunsven.
