The RV-12 is the culmination of many years of experience in
manufacturing the best aircraft kits available.
The RV-12 is a two-seat all-metal side-by-side airplane with a large
cabin that seats the occupants ahead of the wing spar for
maximum room and superb visibility.
The RV-12 meets the certification standards of the Light Sport
Aircraft category.
It is powered by a Rotax 912ULS 100 hp engine.
The RV-12 is equipped with a newground-adjustable Sensenich
composite propeller — light,smooth and affordable.
The low empty weight allows a generous useful load — two 210
lb people, 20 gallons of fuel and 50 lbs of baggage — something
rare in the Light Sport Category.
The RV-12 has all the performance the Light Sport Category permits as well as excellent handling qualities at all speeds.
It is very docile on take-off and landing and pleasantly quick and
agile in the air.
The wings are quickly and easily removable in less than five
minutes, making the airplane easy to transport on a trailer and keep
off-airport.
