You’re just stoking my dreams! I saw the RV-12is at Oshkosh and I haven’t been able to shake it. Thank you for this video. I’m enjoying everything on your channel!
I really like the iS. I had one of the very first RV-12 kits that came out (number 18). I flew it for a couple of years and really enjoyed it, hey it was far superior to the C-150 I owned before that. I eventually sold it to move up and I now have an RV-8, but there may come a time when I need to down size and if so, the RV-12 will be my choice again.
Hi, another great video, thank you. The Micco carries a huge amount of fuel. 73 gallons / 68 useable. Quite a bit of weight there which will impact overall performance. Like you, I'm tickled with my RV-12iS. Only 20 gallons fuel, but it will do 120 knots. I tend to buzz around at ~90 knots. It flies well there and at ~4,600 rpm burns a whopping 2.8 gph!
Lovin Your RV-12 Airplane Videos!
I appreciate the words of support. I'll try to keep it up.

Thanks for watching! I'll try to keep it good.
Appreciate the video
Thanks Paul. I keep missing you at the BBQ. LOL

Well, an RV-8 is quite a plane, too. At my small airport we have an RV-6, a -7, a -8, a -10, and 2 -12s. Lots of Vans influence.

Vans got it right!
Thanks Steve. Vans call it Total Performance.
They do eke out a ton of performance from a 100 HP engine. It is such a slick design that it is hard to get it to slow down without flaps.
The RV 12 is the one I’d get, if I was to get one.
Hi Jeff. Keep your sights on the -12. Maybe one day soon you'll have yours.
