Welcome to my aircraft project website. My first project, a Van's RV-12, has been completed, at least as much as any homebuilt is ever really "done." I started it in December 2008. There were many factors that affected my decision to go for the RV-12, but a major one was ease of construction - something I could finish in a reasonable period of time.
My '12 was built as a E-LSA, which means it has to conform in every respect to the factory prototype. This LSA is my hedge against the day I decide not to go through the hassles associated with maintaining my medical. Hoping to fly when I'm 100!
