Richard VanGrunsven on Total Performance (37605 bytes)

Welcome to the main area of the Van's Aircraft Web Site!

Please feel free to navigate through our web site. Starting at the top of the menu bar to the right, you can get a comprehensive introduction to the most popular kit aircraft available.

Our web site is designed with consistency and ease of navigation for all users. Most pages on this web site contain a menu bar on the right that allows you to go anywhere in the web site. Pages are grouped into sections; for example, the "Models" section contains pages describing all of the RV aircraft models available. Some pages contain sub-pages to allow information to be broken down into manageable segments. For example, all aircraft model pages contain sub-pages describing the design, specifications, and performance of the models. The available sub-pages are listed at the top and bottom of the page, if applicable.

At the top right corner of every menu page, you will find two arrows. Using these will allow you to quickly jump to the previous page in the site (left arrow), or the next page in the site (right arrow). Clicking on the Home button will return you to the first page of the web site. At the bottom right corner, you will also find left and right arrows, plus an up arrow to return to the top of the page.

If you desire more information on using the site, plug-ins required, and minimum system requirements, we recommend that you visit the Site Viewing Tips in the Site Support Section.
