Hey guys, thanks for a flying experience with the RV-12. I always enjoy Dan's videos. Would be nice to have more shots out the front with the panel in plain view to get more of a pilot's perspective.
Love that plane. Just hoping maybe next year they will add a BRS option. Seems like buyers have to go with the European LSA to get chutes for some reason.
What was the climb rate? How many HP is the Rotax 912 ULS? What is the take off weight for this aircraft, 1320 lbs.? What is the max speed? Can an LSA trainee get rated in this aircraft? I ask that as some LSA have insufficient payload to fly two men and a lot of Flight examiners are up around 200 lbs. on their own, and that don't leave much for fuel and the pilot. Some would be over gross with two 180 lb. occupants plus fuel.
Imagine all composite, bit sleeker and lighter, no nose clutter and two small turbofan jets at the back. Smooth, quiet and fast yet similar fuel economy.

I enjoyed the fly along!
Thanks for sharing. In the description where it mentions $1/mo for Patreon, I read it as $1/mo for an RV12. Now that would be cheap!

It's a lot of weight and really not that useful in most cases, fly safe with margin and an emergency landing place in mind.

A Rotax 912 ULS is way more fuel efficient than two (2) turbofans...
Imagine it NOT being a light sport anymore....get your head out of your ***.
