EAA Online said:After the fly-in, the RV-12iS will be “very, very carefully inspected” by the EAA aircraft maintenance department, and following its first flight and mandated 40-hour fly off, it will be painted in livery conceived for the project by Scheme Designers. Though paint will cover the signatures of the hundreds of builders, their names are recorded digitally for posterity. The RV will then replace the Zenith One Week Wonder, which is currently on a tour of EAA chapters and aviation events, and later it will join the EAA flying club in Oshkosh to help EAA staffers earn their pilot certificates.
"Following its first flight and mandated 40-hour fly off..."
Interesting...If the article is correct, I guess they are registering it E/A-B, not ELSA.
Unless someone just made a mistake. Mine is E-LSA with the name of the builder listed as the manufacturer. I would assume, though, that today DARs -- and especially the DAR in this case -- would know better.That is correct. Further evidence is that the "builder" is "Experimental Aircraft Assn Inc".
If it were ELSA, "Vans Aircraft Inc" would be listed as the builder.

Yep, Someone made a mistake. Your registration/certification is in error.
"For kit built experimental light-sport aircraft, the kit manufacturer shall be listed as the manufacturer."
DARs make mistakes sometimes. Except for Mel, of course.
Just a guess, but could it be that maybe the kit is not yet certified?
Has Vans shipped final kits for the new model?
