RV-12 folks,
As happens from time to time, we published a few documentation updates for RV-12 and RV-12iS builders/owners today.
You can find the updated documents in the Support > Service Information and Revisions section of the Van's website. All of the changes published today fall in the "Revisions and Changes" publication category. You can also sign up to receive periodic notifications of changes we publish via the signup box on the home page of the Van's Aircraft website.
The following documents were updated for both the "legacy" RV-12 and the RV-12iS.
In addition, the following documents/plans pages have been updated specifically for the RV-12iS:
The following section has been published and is specific to the "legacy" RV-12:
Note: The RV-12 gun-drilled gear legs are a revised part, which integrates brake plumbing and removed the need to run a tube on the outside of the gear leg. This is now the standard shipping part for all RV-12/12iS aircraft. In the event one needs to replace a set of original main gear in the future, different attachment hardware will be used and Van's will have a kit available for doing so. Other than the integral brake line, there is no difference between the original and new parts.
