The RV 12 in my opinion is the best low wing light sport aircraft kit on the market.
The removable wings are ok if you are going to keep the aircraft at home and take it to the airport, ( go flying ) and then bring it back home.
There are four or more different wing tank designs that builders are using.
I am sure that vans could come up with the best designed RV12 wings tanks.
I am building my wings last as I was hoping that Vans would come out with wing tanks for the people who don't want to give up the area in the baggage compartment.
From the builders I have talked with this is the one thing that they wish vans would have given a option for wing tanks ( maybe EAB only )
For the builders that I have promised a link to the building of my tanks ( is still in progress ).

This in no way is suggesting this is the way to build your wing tanks, this design is not tested and the design is still in progress.
