Johan Akkerman RV6 Port Elizabeth ZU-JHA  
Chris Amstutz RV6 Somerset West ZU-DHI

Trevor Davis RV6 Stellenbosch ZU-BDX    

 
Noel Drew RV6 Cato Ridge ZU-APF  

RV6 ZU-APF flew in May 1995 making it the first RV to fly locally.  It was made from a 1991 kit with all holes needing to be drilled. It has now flown about 600 hours and has its second windscreen, second undercarriage and improved ignition for the 0-320. So far it has cost its passengers plenty as many now fly their own RVs.  It is a great source of joy.

Andy  Lawrence RV6    

Andy: "After 6 and a half years my very slow build RV6 kit finally took to the air in the capable hands of Chalkie Stobbart! Flies straight and level hands off and no snags!! The plane is powered by a Lyc 0360 with a Hartzell VP prop. Hope to see you at the next RV fly in!" - RV Grinning Andy Lawrence
