Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The 2005 Van’s Aircraft RV-6 is a two-seat, low-wing, experimental amateur-built aircraft renowned for its responsive handling, strong performance, and efficient cross-country capability. Originally introduced in the late 1980s, the RV-6 became one of Van’s most popular early designs and helped establish the RV brand’s reputation for producing aircraft that combine sport-plane handling with real-world utility. A 2005 example typically reflects a mature, well-sorted build benefiting from years of builder experience and incremental improvements. The RV-6 was designed to accommodate a range of Lycoming engines, most commonly the O-320 or O-360 series, producing between 160 and 180 horsepower. This flexibility allows the aircraft to deliver impressive climb performance and cruise speeds while remaining economical to operate. The RV-6’s all-metal construction and efficient wing design contribute to its excellent handling qualities, often described as precise, well-balanced, and highly engaging for pilots. The cockpit features side-by-side seating for two, offering good visibility and a relatively comfortable cabin for its class. Many RV-6 aircraft are equipped with modernized avionics, including GPS navigation, electronic flight instruments, and engine monitoring systems, depending on how the aircraft was built and subsequently upgraded. Its relatively light weight and clean aerodynamics make it well suited for both local recreational flying and longer cross-country trips. Within the experimental aviation community, the RV-6 is widely regarded as a “pilot’s airplane.” It has been used for sport flying, aerobatics (when properly equipped), and efficient personal transportation. Owners appreciate the aircraft’s blend of speed, simplicity, and direct control feel, as well as the strong support network within the Van’s Aircraft and RV owner communities. The 2005 Van’s Aircraft RV-6 remains a highly respected experimental aircraft. Its proven design, engaging flight characteristics, and flexibility in configuration continue to make it an appealing choice for pilots seeking a fun-to-fly, high-performance homebuilt aircraft with enduring value.
