This Vans Aircraft RV-12 has 226 hours on the airframe, engine and propeller. That changes weekly. The performance and flight characterist of the RV-12 is very impressive. The E-LSA experimental category means you can do your own maintenance and annual condition inspections after completing a 16 hour repairman inspection class.
The engine is a Rotax 912S and burns 92 octane car gas or 100LL at the rate of 3.8 - 5 GPH. That is a huge savings over conventional aircraft engines. It is very smooth and quiet. A joy to operate, no mixture control, just a throttle, choke, and mag switches. The twin Bing carbs are automatic pressure compensating. Simple is good in an airplane!
Priced at $89,950, I will deliver for expenses and assist with transitional training.
Avionics
The panel is the standard Vans RV-12 switch panel including a Dynon D180 for engine instrumentation, and flight information which has been upgraded to the latest software version. A removable Garmin 496 recently updated is coupled to the Dynon for HSI info and heading bug info. The Garmin radio and transponder (certificate is current) works great. The intercom has a 1/8" jack for music input, and there is a 12v power supply that is hot all the time. The plane has been wired for a Dynon autopilot but it has not been installed.
