Yep. My list is based on the US registry. In addition:

1. My list only covers those airplanes recorded as being licensed in the Experimental Amateur-Built category. Over 1200 RVs are not.

2. My list covers only those airplanes on the FAA registry as of 29 December 2017. Over a thousand RVs have been removed from the registry.

3. My list covers only those RVs where the builder used a common term as the aircraft make or model.... some variation of "RV" and a number.
