Default Sun 'n Fun Pictures of RV-12
Here is video #1 of the RV 12
at Sun 'n Fun 4/8/2008 About 130 more still pictures to be added this evening.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qrY3n5tVVQ

(Many more pictures and video links [including videos of my demo ride in N912RV "the yellow canary"] on this page and the next 3 pages of this thread!)


Tried to buy a VAF tee-shirt at Van's booth at about 2:00PM today ... at that time they still hadn't received any to sell. I'll try again Friday at Vans Aircraft BBQ.

I was able to schedule a demo in the -12 for this Friday, near Lakeland in Plant City. I already ordered the kit so I'm really hoping I enjoy the ride. Hey, it's an RV, it gotta be good.

Jerry,
Thanks for the video, I'm looking forward
to the still photos. I'd love to build one
if it is viable as a E-AB. I'm checking that out.
Tom

Thanks for doing this, Jerry! Must say it felt like I was there (minus the humidity).

I bet a lot of folks watch this video in the next few days.

Nice video, Jerry. I didn't see anybody in wading boots, so I guess it is drying out there somewhat . Your grandson will be so inpressed that his grandad is building an airplane.

Default Hi-resolution stills of the RV-12
It was easier to upload every picture I took at Sun 'n Fun today, rather than to pick and choose. If you can make it through the first 17 non-RV-12 slides then you will really like the rest. Enjoy!

I spoke to both Ken Kreuger and Richard VanGrunsven (Van) briefly. We just said hi ... and Van thanked me for the trust I placed in his company by purchasing the wing kit. Sorry, I didn't get to ask any of the questions posted in the forums ... will try again this Friday.

Default a few more RV-12 pictures ...
Sorry there are a couple repeats from the previous slide presentation ... but some new slides too. Just click on play located in the upper right hand corner of the first slide.
