This is an exceptional opportunity to own a 2025 E-LSA Van’s RV-12iS that has been built to the highest possible standards. Configured to match the RV-12iST factory trainer specifications, this aircraft offers a sophisticated "Technically Advanced Aircraft" (TAA) glass cockpit and a show-quality finish that sets it apart from any other RV-12 on the market. It has a complete interior and every opinion that was available when it was finished in August 2025. This aircraft was built exactly to the plans.

Total Time Engine, Airframe and Prop is currently less than 100 hours and everything was purchased new from Van’s. Includes Rotax Care Extended Engine Warranty!
