I wish i could give this video multiple up votes: No annoying music background 👍 You actually included timestamps👍 No clickbait. Video exactly what it claims👍

This young woman is as knowledgable as one would ever need. I found this one of the best videos for anyone considering the purchase of an aircraft or anyone wishing to learn more about aircraft. Excellent work, fluff, the facts, nothing but the facts.

This is the most professional small aircraft review I've seen thus far and that's over 50 year's worth.

What a stunning aircraft the RV-12 is. Clever design and aesthetically beautiful, including the tasteful paintjob.

I LOVE your videos - I have watched half a dozen so far back to back. It's because they are all so ON POINT with the details and no fluff. I can't stand the childish, unprofessional channels that don't deserve the views they get. I hope you keep posting videos, and I secretly wish I could work for you.

Nice aeroplane and a great instructor with excellent knowledge Thank you 😊

Wow. Amazingly thorough review! Thanks.

Excellent review, I have been interested in this plane for some time now. Yours is the most comprehensive review I have seen to date. Thank you

This is one of the best walkaround airplane reviews I’ve ever seen, great job.

The effort you [utinto this video shows! Excellent job and exactly what I needed to learn about the RV12

Love your detailed reviews and demonstrations. Well done Ma’am.

What a great video! Your professional reviews not only demonstrate, but are very instructional and informative. Looking forward to your next one.

Very well done. I own an RV12 and found this video. Super good refresher video.

I fly the RV12 in training and you gave an excellent overview of the aircraft- on point. Def fun to fly

Hi! I enjoyed your video! I am a retired Corrections Lieutenant from Massachusetts and always wanted to learn how to fly. I have watched so many videos and your video is AMAZING! You are extremely knowledgeable about planes! You are truly a professor of aviation. Well I just want to thank you for your information on this video. I have subscribed to your channel and will follow your channel. Thanks again!

Excellent, Detailed Review!

Beautiful presentation! Well done!

Cool video thanks for making. I'm buying a new RV-12. I learned a lot.

Exceptional review! Thanks for the detailed info.

Awesomely reviewed,Ty !

Refreshingly thorough and factual.

Great aircraft...thx for in depth review...

Great review! Thank you

Great awesome review. The perfect engine for the RV12. Nice airplane. You did a top job on this. Really nice 👍

Great video, A&P and Private pilot planning to build a RV. I've got 3 boys, 2 that are New A&P and the 3rd wants to fly commercial. This video is great for small details for us to see our options. :)

really excellent presentation. thank you

awesome review, as usual

This video was most certainly worth a like and subscribe. I flew this aircraft today for the first time from the right seat and I fell in love with it. Stark County Ohio? I fly from Geauga County 7G8.

Now I need one of these.

Beautiful Bird !

So we'll presented and awesome review!

Cool review very helpful

SUPER I WANT 3 OF EM, MY FAVOURITE PLANE SINCE ITS CONCEPTION,

Great review, I’m considering changing airplanes for training, I think this would be a great way to learn how to use the control stick. All the camera angles and detailed explanations were really key to helping me making a more informed decision. Thank you!

Amazing review, thanks! As someone looking to build, these kinds of reviews help you decide. I, have already decided but what if I hadn’t? This would definitely help me decide. 1.5 RV’s are completed and flown each day! (As of 2021) It’s safe to say they have a lot flying and loads of happy customers. I trust them, they’ve been around awhile and have a lot of experience. But still, great reviews! Keep em’ coming!

Very nice video and review. Thanks for sharing... 👍

Love this rv12

I need one, beautiful plane

G,day from Sydney Australia. Very concise: I think you covered all aspects of the sports plane. Areas of interest * canopy configuration * Rotax gearbox ratio I am only just looking at the sport range: there is a large variety to consider. 🌏🇭🇲

Great job

Loved it

Very nice video thanks for sharing. :o)

Very nicely done…👍🏻🙏🏻👍🏻

More experimentals please!!

Excellent Overview, What would be the number on landing, at Pattern Altitude on Downwind, On Base and on Final.

There is much to love, Van's nailed most of the design. Leaves too little for some of us E-LSA builders to choose, however. If I can't have a US made air cooled engine then it is off my list. Same for not having a tailwheel option. I am surprised Van went along with a reduction drive liquid cooled engine. That said, slick wing removal, cockpit forward canopy, and payload are exceptional. Van's is a class act, just not for everyone. Yet, most will find it difficult to find better, particularly for SLSA customers.

have a nice day. The plane is beautiful. max speed. range and price. thanks.

I have a 2010 RV-12 and I learned a few things from your video. So first, thank you, and well done! I purchased my RV-12 about a year ago and fell in love with it as it perfectly fits my mission. A weekend getaway plane with room for me and my wife, a full bag of gas, and two RON bags. The only drawback is there is not much room for anything but the bare basics (like a supercar). You also need to check your ability to manipulate the flight controls as the seating position does not offer much adjustment without pedal blocks as you pointed out. Nice job! I might add one thing. No need for carb heat due to the routing of the exhaust manifolds over the carbs. Wow, they really thought of everything. If you are height to weight proportionate the flight controls are easy to manage. The useful load is ample and will allow larger folks to meet their mission requirements assuming that they do not interfere with the range of movement of the flight controls based on body shape.

Very easy 👍

Very good

It is worth noting that the rotax prefers 91 octane car gas. It is also worth knowing that the rotax simply does not burn oil like an old style engine. I have been involved with a rotax fleet of planes for a dozen years and never heard of folks adding oil between changes. It may happen, but it is uncommon. Its a great motor and if maintained reasonably, they are very reliable.

I actually look forward to your videos as you do a fantastic job. I don’t really care for the plane with that engine, the avionics, or the removable wings. I think the price is ridiculous, owner is likely hoping/dreaming to capitalize on the current crazy used plane market. If i could find them, I could purchase 2 x 150 Aerobats for the cost of this. But, you did a great job! Me thinks that landing was so smooth is because you’re a CFI. lol,lol, Thanks.

I'd love one! Seems to have the right balance in terms of speed, comfort, operating costs, ease of hangerage etc. Where are the backup/redundancy gauges though?

Great video! please do one on the Sling 2 in the future!

The FAA must have changed the law for a commercial pilot rating. When I got mine it required a complex aircraft: retractable gear, constant speed prop, 200 horse power engine. That was in 1978 and I have not flown in many years.

8:58 Had trouble understanding what you said about the dandelion. What's up about that? Just some "B-roll"?

I love how they try to sell you on this plane which, It is a very nice plane and when you go to the site that shows this plane for sale, there is no price. Why is that? But for those who are curious what this kit plane cost to build, I will enlighten you viewers. (1) Fasteners $825. (2) Empennage/ Tail $5,600. (3) Wings $14,100. (4) Fuselage $12,300. (5) Finishing $18,800. (6) Avionics N/A. (7) Powerplant Rotax 912is 100hp $26,471.00. (8) Standard Kit N/A. (9) Quick build kit N/A. TOTAL=$78,096. So is this worth it compared to planes that are old and are already to fly instead of waiting 3-5 years to finish a kit plane?

Which is the best single engine with yoke safe and economical and luxurious plane to travel around the world?

At 2:10 you say it’s a home built SLSA. Homebuilts are ELSA. SLSA is the factory built version. Way different rules apply to each.

How much did this aircraft sell for? Just want an idea of what they cost.

The removable wings are right from the sailplane world..

The nose gear seems extremely weak. The full horizontal stab for an elevator is needed so that the nose gear can be lifted as soon as full take off power is applied. It's necessary to pick up the nose gear off the ground immediately and keep it off the ground until flight. Landing must be just as touchy... if you watch closely they have to keep it off the ground until the elevator (which is held at max deflection) can no longer carry the nose gear. I wonder if the nose gear speed limits are published anywhere.

How is that stick control? My friend is considering the RV-12iS after years of being a yolk-tail dragger guy in a Cessna 180.

Gotta love the squeaky rudder. Lol

RV-8 conventional!!! If plausible

Looked at your website listing for this RV. It cites the Rotax twice as being a Model 920. Is there such an engine? And I failed to see a price!!!

Garmin 496 ?!!? Have you guys not discovered Skydemon over there yet??

How much did the plane sell for?

Hey! I want to record flight audio for my rv12 flights, can you send me a link to the equipment you used for this video? Thanks!

And to think this all started with Mr Van Gruensen (I know I'm a lousy speller) modifying his Stits Playboy back in the day. Yep I remember those early EAA days and I believe we were still meeting in Rockford not Oshkosh.

have a nice day. 0 km for 4 people. Can I buy the ultralight plane for $300,000? thanks.

What is the price?

Rudder is NOT for "ground movement"! One uses differential brakeing for steering on the ground in a RV-12.

uhh i saw u on my flight radar from rock hill

Could I buy this as an LSA pilot?

Cost?

Think you'll find one air intake is for the engine to, you know, get air to burn rather than for cooling, as it's a liquid cooled engine.

Where is Knox, Indiana?

She said it’s homebuilt experimental that falls into the SLSA category, wrong, it’s in the LSA category, it’s only SLSAbif it’s factory built, not homebuilt.

What is 'on your back' at about 28:45? A pillow?

Hi, do you have a website ? Thanks

No ballistic parachute?

I love it! I see you still have that 177 in the background though. Would be a tough decision for me, hoping to buy something next year...

have a nice day. max speed. 275-300 mph. range 2000 mph. Two-seater plane for $200,000. A 4-seater plane for $300,000. Can I have it done to you or others? please provide information. thanks.

$ 84,000.00 is the price. w-auto pilot

Why without headrest?

😔👍👍👍

That paint job looks brand new... I think with new lights, new fork, full wheel pants, added full interior, you'd have a hard time getting the weight much under 765 -770#. Suggest you put each wheel on a scale with an empty fuel tank and redo your weights and balances and overall weight of the plane. Or top the fuel tank off and subtract 119 # for 19.8 gallons of fuel capacity. $84,000 for first generation Dynon... it's not even SkyView D-1000 with GPS, intellivision and map capabilities, let alone ADS-B in and out with weather, live TFR's and lightning reports.

Shouldn't the pillot be in the left seat?!

Srill have?

Flys great but handles like garbage on the ground, max crosswind component of only 11 knots. You take off from an airport you may not be able to get back in if the wind shifts. Needs a bigger rudder with more authority.

Mooney 24:31

Doesn't look like that much headroom

33:32 - Visi-bili-lity?

Why does she keep saying " Flaps or Flaperons" ?

"Most detailed review"... Most ever? A review that is detailed?

Not completely accurate, but close enough for government work ...

Saying "actually" isn't fact nor function. Need more why & how.

Jeez the landscape is boring, no wonder you didn't do much actual flying!

Boring
