Vans provide good documentation, plus as far as I know there is no such thing as a plans built RV6 ( apart from the very first one ). The problem is that RR have been tardy in getting into computers internet etc. How many genuine sets of plans get sold a year ? low hundreds I would guess - perhaps $40k a year. Genuine $10 CD called "Build Your Dream Plane" with glossy pics of girlies drooling over the Tom Cruise look-alike pilot would sell thousands. Remember it's bloody difficult to print large scale plans, so Janet would still get reqs for sets of paper plans, and get to sell all the fancy bits that are ( or should be ) available from her web site. I think in the "get real" world this is called marketing. Pete
