By any chance was that built by one of the TangoFlight programs? I own one such plane myself, at TX42. Picked it up in Georgetown, TX in 2019. Great plane.Looking for any recommendations to do a Prebuy for me for a newly built RV-12is near Austin TX
Thanks

John - sure is, been a great experience so far! Do you have any lessons learned about taking ownership?

Mine was painted at Rose-Wood Aircraft Completions (rose-wood.com) in Mena, Arkansas. They did an excellent job. I think there are several paint shops on the field. Don't know the cost...it was included in the price I paid, and was done prior to my picking the plane up.Any recommendations on paint shops?
This is lengthy but worth reading. If you get down my way (TX42), will be glad to chat and go for a flight. If you'd like to talk by phone let me know.John - sure is, been a great experience so far!

It’s a brand new engine from a teen build program.All these want to be experts did not say anything about checking the Rotax 912 Engine History with a B.U.D.S Dianostics
Thanks Scott - will doAll the recommendations are good but go fly a 12. I've done a few first flights and they basically all fly the same (sweet) if built as an E-LSA. Take note of stabilator trim position to insure no unexpected pitch.
Did you ever find someone to do a pre buy? I’m looking for someone in the Waco area.Looking for any recommendations to do a Prebuy for me for a newly built RV-12is near Austin TX

I didn't but followed all the advice I got through this link. There is a service center in the Dallas area but they want the plane to come to them. Tango Flight put me with one of their volunteers and we went through the plane and I built a checklist from the info I got here - especially from jcl777.Did you ever find someone to do a pre buy?
