Hi All,
I have been searching for a low wing Light Sport for a while now. I have narrowed it down to an RV-12 or a Sport Cruiser.
As I have previously stated, I am a huge fan of Van’s designs but to be truthful I am worried about the fuel tank being in the cabin in the event of a crash.
For you folks that fly RV-12’s, was this a small, huge or no mental obstacle at all
to overcome in deciding to go with an RV-12? Has anyone added an emergency dump valve? Has anyone considered it? I get that fumes are explosive and bad but so is being soaked in fuel. I’m not saying a dump valve is a good idea. Just pondering....
Thanks
