Here's proof that EAB RV12s are faster. You can see from my Data Plate that due to speed, the paint is coming off, also the engravings..haha

Guys: Not to start a controversy here about Data Plates, but IIRC wasn't the data plate a US Customs requirement initially? Drug smugglers changing N-numbers with duct tape or something like that. Minimum requirement was MAKE, MODEL, AND SERIAL NUMBER, mounted outside if the original Data Plate wasn't visible from outside the aircraft. I guess things have evolved with these S-LSA and E-LSA aircraft. Dan from Reno

Service Bulletins are not required to be done for experimental aircraft, including E-LSA aircraft; however, S-LSA aircraft must comply.

You DO know how many FAA employees read VAF don't you? I'd suggest that you might want to be careful when you post somethgin contrary to the rules on a public forum. Just a suggestion.

I wonder how much money this tempest in a teapot cost everyone. It seems somewhere along the line the regulator lost sight of their sacred trust to protect the health and safety of the public.
