Also saw the RV-10 at Arlington. Same result. Van was also smiling.

...was Van's new, four-place RV-10. They had a cockpit mockup outside the
tent for the tirekickers to sit in. The roominess is truly impressive,
especially the rear seats which hold two six-footers in comfort. Van is
projecting an 1100 lb. useful load for the airplane if you build it light.

The formal introduction of the airplane was jammed on Wednesday. When the
crowd was asked how many had already ordered empennage/rear fuse. kits, a
dozen hands went up. When we were asked how many were thinking about
ordering one, a hundred hands went up (mine included). Van was smiling.
