Especially as you’re going through IFR training because all those VFR skills will go out the window if you don’t actively practice them… especially landings! Lol 😆🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks for watching my man!
Student pilot here. Confused about the flaperon switch on the RV-12. On the one I'm flying now, it's push the switch DOWN to bring flaps UP and pull the switch UP to bring the flaps down. I think the switch is installed upside down. Shouldn't it be push DOWN switch = flaps DOWN, pull UP switch = flaps UP? Nothing in the manual. Would appreciate any info.
So it really just comes down to your interpretation of what is up and what is down lol. The way the switch is mounted in this plane is basically parallel to the floor. So “forward” is flaps up and “backwards” is flaps down. If you were to reorient that to be parallel to the firewall, then up would equal flaps up and down would equal flaps down. Don’t know how your switch is oriented but ultimately as long as you know which direction does what, then that is what matters 👍
Great video. Building a 12 now. I'm a new pilot. Center line between legs? I'm always left of center line. Does that help with the not centered in the plane view?
That’s exciting! Bet you can’t wait until it’s done :-). The “line between the legs” is a general rule of thumb and keeps you 99% on center line. As long as the line is between your mains, realistically that’s acceptable. 👍 thanks for watching!
Gracias, mi amigo
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I'm building a RV12 and these videos are inspiring. Keep them coming!
So awesome! Will do! And thanks for watching!
I’ve completed the first 12IS in Australia . Wonderful little plane. Keep building
As one day all the steps will be ticked off. 121056
I’m building one too…empennage and wings almost finished…I have the fuselage kit ready to start next…avionics, engine and interior ordered.
Excellent demo and video!
Thank you, Juan! Honor to have you stop by 😊🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Crazy, I just clicked into this from a RV12 group I''m in. It was great meeting you and Brandi the other night!
Haha awesome! It was great meeting you and Angela too! Hope to see you around more often!
Im doing my LS training in an RV12 this was reasssuring for sure. The C172 is such a tank compared to these.😄
Another reminder that I need to do some basic maneuvers!

@@NorthwestAeronaut I can relate to that! another good video man, keep up the good work!
@@larrybueno thanks Larry! 😁🙌🏻🙌🏻
The 12 is very slippery!
Indeed it is!
Time to wash the RV12! Don’t forget, it likes it’s belly nice and shiny! Hahaha
If it was my plane I would lol 😆

Oil streaks at the back of cowling?
Just grease. lol
greased it.
I get lucky every once in a while 😉🙌🏻
Am I missing something but this was not a soft field demo.
It is soft-field takeoff and landing technique. Just not performed on an actual soft field 👍
