OK, I'm new at this forum, Vans and E-ABs, so please forgive my ignorance...
My goal is to build with my son a two seater E-AB that will be VFR/Private Pilot certified (I hold a Private Pilot's Certificate) and that my son can use to train to get his LSP. Then my son will use it for his Private Pilot certificate training after gaining some LSP experience. We then we would like to modify the plane for IFR training for both he and I.
While my son's trains for LSP and Private, I will use the aircraft for day/night VFR. As we are in Dallas B airspace, and any LSP we consider will have to be virtually GA VFR certified anyway.
I'm thinking the RV-12 kit with necessary GA instrument/lighting. With IFR instruments added later (spread the money as far as possible!)
I'd like to be sure what I am planning is within the RV-12 E-AB capabilities, registrations/regulations/etc.? And for that matter I'm wide open to ideas/thoughts/recommendations considering my goals?
