Is there a searchable/indexable database of experimental a/c.....such that a person could look at a list showing performance for all 4-place single engine >150kt aircraft, for example.

I confess I am a little surprised none exists.
Doesn't the Kitplanes annual list sorta do what you are looking for? I believe that there have been folks attempting to start up independent databases. But if my memory serves me correctly (more than 3-4 years ago), they got nastygrams from Kitplanes legal team and took the databases down.
If it wasn't for some of the new writers and Paul Dye's efforts to turn things around, I would have let my subscription lapse. I think wasting three editions to print those databases, which should be online on their website instead, takes away from the articles that are of interest to me.
Kitplanes had a database online that you can access if you are a subscriber. I haven't looked at it for a couple years, the search & sort function didn't work very well.
Thanks.
So, let me begin with these requirements and see what we get, expect modifications later.
Folks, what readily available experimental a/c (kit/plans/even used) is out there which
-will carry 4 people with light bags
-single engine
->150kts cruise
Thanks for any suggestions.
Of course, I'm highly biased, but a RV-10 meets those requirements. Mine was just listed as 609th reported to Van's as flying.Originally Posted by Dave Taylor
