Hello folks:
I was wondering if there are any completed RV-12s in Indiana (or surrounding areas) that I could possibly take a look at / ride in. I'm based at KDCY. My motivation is that would like to build an RV that I can maintain that my father and I can fly relatively inexpensively for years to come.
Because of all my aviation banter, Dad has decided to get his PPSEL, and is progressing really well. Heck he may even go on to get his instrument rating. Why build a LSA then? Well, he would not need it for years, but if he ever needs and LSA, we have one and the build time for the -12 seems doable to us. Most of his flying would be $100.00 hamburgers anyhow. I currently have a 182 so it's not like we're building to fly, but would like to experience the journey of building! Last summer we took a builders course at Grov-Air and really enjoyed it.
Any one close? Thoughts? The community help is appreciated.

BTW I'm 6'3" and 235 and want to see if I can fit
