Van's RV-12 Build: Garmin Avionics Come to Life
Besides an engine run, the biggest milestone in any kit build is powering the avionics suite for the first time. That's exactly what the build team at EAA 166 in Hartford, CT did in the Garmin-equipped Van's RV-12 project.
Our cameras were rolling as EAA166's March Welch and Larry Anglisano flipped on the master switches for the first time. There are lessons for others.

Van's RV-12 annual inspection

The Van's RV-12 E-LSA is a relatively simple aircraft, but that doesn't mean its annual conditional inspection isn't without major effort and sizable teradown. Like all aircraft, there are major systems to look after, including dealing with service bulletins and ADs, wear-and-tear items, plus some unique items on the aircraft's Rotax 912-series engine that deserve extra attention.

Custom Instrument Panels

Not all kit builders have the skills to fabricate their own custom instrument panels. Truth is, it's a lot more than just cutting new metal. But one company that's got the process down to an efficient science-while turning out some impressive custom panels-is Superior Aircraft Components in Texas. They can bring a show-winning panel from conception to shipping in a short amount of time. EAA 166...

Yeeeeeees! Getting close. Can't wait until she is ready for flight testing!
G,day from Sydney Australia. Plenty of glass and technology for an experimental, but hay why not? Has anyone thought about attaching sound and fire retardant insulation to the firewall? There must be an aerospace product? 🌏🇦🇺
You guys are doing great!
That tailcone fairing was deceiving. I thought it would be easy and it took me almost 3 weekends to finish it. I found it more tedious than the canopy if I dare say it 😂
Plane
Save one of your short (4"-ish) white (or light colored) zip ties ---- they work great as dipsticks for your brake reservoir (the cap on it is metric M10x1.0).
Appreciate the performance and enjoyment flying the RV-12. Very reliable platform & cost efficient. Enjoyed the upload & information!
Don't know if I misheard, but is this a 2 stroke diesel, like the Detroit V53/71/92 series?
Price increases, no no, inflation is only 3%. Report it correctly. Those 20% and 30% increases are just the product of your lying eyes and wallets.
Sell me your plane. Great video
now put them in everything :))
Current numbers I hear is $90-100k for the 4 cylinder with $60k+ for experimental. This is engine only cost with FWF being extra. I can't find a TBO or TBR. With diesel weight a high concern and I assume the designers have compromised reusability to save weight, it would more likely a TBR. Also, with litigation costs, will engine be serviced in house with only DeltaHawk mechanics or like Rotax with invite only certified shops? Nonetheless, I don't see this trickling down to Cessna 172 types for quick some time if ever.
For aesthetics, you might consider replacing the black zip ties on the gear legs, positioning the brake lines, with either white or clear zip ties. They really don't stand out as black does ...
Love the updates!
Uh, UH, where is the radiator Amigo? ? ❤❤
? The kinked hoses between cylinders ?? ❤❤
orange ,, likely fuel,,, green,, likely coolant
Lubrication?
DeltaHawk. Has got it going. Excellent teams working hard in developments.
does the RV14 pkg include a cowl?
Forced induction Compound charging . Amazing
They used to tout , One hp/lb. 20 years later, still in development and specific lb/hp/hr are nothing to write home about. Be very leery of claims from these people. Great idea, poor execution.
No mention of TBO.
100k? Yeah no
Detroit Diesel of the sky…I dig it.
Insightful, thanks!
Looking good!
GA is long overdue for a replacement of the air-cooled pancake engines.

I love the engine.... i'm just worried about the belt on the supercharger. Back in the day, I had a supercharger on an old toyota pickup... and it would blow the belt every 5 or 6 thousand miles. Since it was a 4-stroke, it would continue to run. (Poorly) But it got the point where I would put on a new belt every oil change. Since this is a 2-stroke design.... I'm sure it would stop with a thrown belt. I wish they would have used a toothed belt (no slippage) or a more rugged drive solution. Like a gear drive with an oil bath. (the standard to drive aviation accessories)
If the belt goes when it's running the turbo should keep it running if it can push air past the supercharger. That depends, of course, on the overall design i.e. is the supercharger bypassed once the turbo is spooled up. It looks like a positive displacement supercharger which probably wouldn't let air through if it stopped turning and wasn't bypassed.
@@Surestick88 Sure... but not all of them are turbo.
Why does my chainsaw run with no turbo?
@@JustinHuff_EOinDixie because it's a single cyl, with a reed or rotary valve, and it self pressurizes the case. The multi cyl with a supercharger isn't built that way.
@@PghGameFix they literally are all supercharged and turbo charged, all 3 power outputs from deltahawk.
He interest in to know the weight difference between this and one it is meant to replace as well as fuel burn and prices. Looks a good engine design though.
Any body price on these 3 engines, that about the a confige and oil draning into the cylinder and hydroloc on start up?
Last I heard $100k
Will the 235hp fit im my cessna 150?
You should out one on each wing..
too heavy
Cool stuff!
EXCELLENT VIDEO THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
we got canceled today😔March 30, 2024
I built a RV 4 and found Richard to be a pain in the a$$ to deal with, hope it’s different today
What they don't tell you about the wheels is that the struts come with a +6* camber on each main wheel/tire and that unless you are flying consistently at gross, you will find the outer 1/3 of the tire will wear down to the cord (while the inside tread is still almost full depth) in 150-200 hours and then have to flip the tire (or, you do like I did and have 2-4.5* shims made to reduce the camber to +1.5* for each wheel --- I've added nearly 500 hours to the tires since then and have been getting equal wear across the entire width of the tread. I typically fly between 1000 and 1150#.)
Beautiful -10 Build. I am sorry to hear about your engine, as a builder nothing can be more frustrating than when the delay is not on your end. You will get the engine soon and fly this baby all over the place. I also fly a -10, i'll see you around.
Keep dropping the ball with the engine then just drop an LS engine in that bad boy.
70-odd service bulletins (and counting)
These videos are great. Please post updates of the rv12 build.
Just found these build videos. I hope you all keep producing these. I really enjoy them.
The lightening holes in the wing root ribs are just begging to have cylindrical fuel tanks in them.
Enjoyed this. Just discovered a club here in Louisville building an RV12, and they are even looking at doing an electric conversion.
ELSA does not require a A&P to sign off. You take the LSRI class and sign off yourself!
Why did you remove the wings for an annual inspection?
Rv12 has easily removable wings. Way easier to walk around when there's no wings.
Enjoy your build videos.
Great. Thanks
Thanks! Enjoyed the content. I own 2 of those sawhorses. I would not put my aircraft on them. Just saying…
Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated! 😃👍🏻
