Robert a twin comanche just took off. He flew in from Austraila. I think there were only 7 Rv 12 s. Including Vans blue and Scotts teen plane and Jabiru's.

Thanks John. I had expected that there would have been more, but seeing the pink one was a nice surprise. Over here in Western Australia, one of our well known female aviators is about to start building a -12 (she already has an RV-6 to her credit).
And that twin Comanche will be back here before long - it's downhill all the way!
Cheers

We need better mapping.
I just returned from Oshkosh, and used up the batteries in 5 of those handicap carts, but only seen the Jab powered one, teen flight one, and Mitch at Vans. Wanted so bad to see the rest of the group but was unable to find them! I sure expected to see far more than that small number.

I too was a little disappointed in the number of RV-12s I could find. Other than the "booth" ones mentioned, I found 3 others. I would have thought there would be alot more 12ers wanting to show off their new feathers, so not sure why the low turn out, or did I just not find a bunch of them? I was there Monday, so maybe more came in later in the week. Missed the pink one. My wife would have loved seeing that.

I COULD say it is because of the Rotax, but I won't.

John, very please with the install and looks of the fairings! I used #6 screws on the entire install and took it for a 2 hour test flight. I think it added 20 MPH! May have been the tail wind though.
I made the mistake of pain ting them with "gloss plastic paint" it is clearly not gloss, but looks okay for now. I will repaint them using gloss white at a later time. Time to fly now!
