Van personally built his own RV-12 as EAB.
|
I built mine as an EAB, I still have a Rotax, but different avionics and a few other things. She had a 40 hour phase1 not the 5 hours of the E-LSA. I fly it as a light sport, even though it is an EAB, it meets the requirments for a light sport pilot. Looks like a 12, flys like a 12, with major difference when I sell it the the buyer will have a EAB and will have to follow those regulations associated with it verses a E-LSA
Keep in mind 95+% of RV's are EABs :) Just my thoughts |

If memory serves me correctly FAA formally approved the RV-12 kit as complying with the 51% rule. Maybe Scott can confirm that.

Being on the approved list just makes the whole process simpler because the DAR or inspector doesn't have to use the checklist document to verify that it complies. Being on the list means the FAA has already said it does. |
i think it is kind of ambiguous to say the elsa will hold its value better. it starts off with a $64000 price tag. i am quite sure i can make a panel to my liking with eis, gps and flight instruments for $4000. now, let me put in a $18000 fwf package instead of one for $28000 and we are comparing apples and oranges.
if i sell don't i have a market available that can't even afford your $64000 cost? |
