Sorry if this is a repost, I just saw this latest entry on the Vans site:

"From: Dick VanGrunsven
Subject: RV-12
Date sent: Mon, 09 Nov 2009
RV-12 N912DV, Serial # 120181, first flight on Friday afternoon, Nov. 6th. To the best of my knowledge, this is the 13th RV-12 to fly. Thus, I get the benefit of whatever jinx comes with that number, and no other builder gets stuck with it. Now when someone finishes #666, I’ll test fly it for them!

Dick V."

So, is this DV's personal RV-12 or am I misunderstanding?

i believe it is Mr. VanGrunsvens personal plane, and i gathered that he was the builder as well.

there is another thread around here with a photo, it has a nice pain job..

i'll see if i can get the link for you
