Also... somebody is eventually going to forget one of those pins. Seems like it would be easy to rig an idiot light on the panel that would light up if both pins weren't in.
I believe that there is a spar pin light, its kind of hard to read the label.

Nope... here's a picture:

Since it can only do 120 kts., I doubt they'll be added.

Any news on a 'Vans trailer' kit for the 12? I'd like to be able to pick up my 12 kit at the factory and place it on the BED of my 'Vans RV-12 'trailer kit' and bring it home. The trailer kit would have to be built by the manufactured to the point of frame, wheels/axle/trailer hitch/lisence, etc.
Yep, its under consideration at Vans, per a conversation with them at S-N-F.

If you look at DRs previous posting on the control hook-up, the picture shows the joint taped like a glider with yellow tape...

The video didn't show them getting on their hands and knees under the wing to add the tape....

An easy alternative that I guess the final model will have is a rubber molding, again just like the 1-26 glider. It might have been left off for weight reasons though....

Default rea wing support?

Bravo! I think this is a very slick design!

Does anyone know if the control tube also supplies some support for the back of the wing or is there some other support back there? I wouldn't think the main spar could carry all the wing torque loading.

Now that's what I'm talking about!! I'm no engineer, nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, BUT, That is Slick!!!! I have been waiting for that to be aired from day one! That seals the ticket if you will. I'm sure it will seal many other tickets as well.
