I saw it today and it is impressive. The Rotax is a perfect engine for it and the entire design is sweet...
I have a place for the kit in the garage right now (as soon as the wife moves her stuff and Van's releases it for sale). Paint is cosmetic (and does look good in red)... its what's underneath that is cool.
Oh yes, another big step completed on the way to sell the kits that I am so impatiently waiting for!!! But Van's aircraft KNOWS how to get to that step the proper way sooooo...the RV-12 is worth waiting for!!!!!
Who cares about the paint... all metal 570lb useful load, removeable wings, 20 gallon fuel capacity and cruise speed somewhere around 130mph.. oh yeah and it's a Van's!
did he die?

They haven't finished painting this RV-12 yet. I'm guessing the cowling and tail cone will be painted red also. Much nicer color than the yellow -12.
