- After building a Vans RV-8, and a Vans RV-10, we are now embarking on yet another airplane journey: a Vans RV-12.
Watch our progress as we build an airplane, led by a teenager.

Enjoyed your upload & family passion for aviation passion. Enjoyed flying the RG-182 flying the cascades in Oregon. Happy Landings!
The hotshots should travel with their airplane to see their sister.
Right on, great choice. I am sure it will be a great trainer and the experience of building with your kid is something he will not forget. 👍
Sry had to ffd to end. Dragged out.................congrats
The fact they have 400 subscribers and 16 people commented😢
If the fuel were in the wings, yes, in the cockpit with my family, hell no!! Too many have already burned up in 12's, that were very survivable accidents!!. The last one less than 3 miles from me just a few months ago. Dick, put the fuel in the wings where it belongs. Very few take their wings off after built!!!
If there is a club nearby he can fly gliders a year earlier than powered planes and teaches good stick and rudder skills.
Talk to an IA to log his time building towards an A&P rating. Can he be the primary building and get the repairman cert for the plane? Will be great for him to take to college.
Yeah, we are keeping a log of all of his time for future cert purposes!

Good job with your kids! Vans kits built well are always worth more than you have in them!
You got that right!
It would be nice to know the value of a completed kit - total costs divided by build hours to get an hourly wage for building a kit.
Good video
What is the overall budget to build a complete Van’s R10 , including the G1000 complete avionics and the engine
Any specials tools required ?
Thank you
Eric
Yeah, in today's prices you should expect it will cost at least $150k and more like $200k all in. And yeah, lots of special tools required - but there are vendors who sell them all! There's a few other youtube channels just of RV-10 builders who are documenting their process, good education.
I think everyone knows the REAL reason you want to build another airplane….it’s because you hate money! 😂
Your not wrong lol!
Why can your kid not fly the RV10?
He will eventually, but it's a bit much for initial training, including getting insurance coverage. Since he has a few years yet, building the RV-12 felt like a fun project in the meantime, and he's all about flying the plane he got to build.
@@hotshotaero That makes sense and the build project is a big bonus to have and point to.
Throw a 4th one up. It can be mine. Honestly build me one. Or selll me the RV-10 you have.
They have to getting good at building them. I would think way way less time to build.
