I am going to hopefully start the buidling process in the fall. I have flown the 9a and love it. I would like input on whether I should wait for the rv12. I will be loosing about 50 knots in air speed but the fuel savings for the rotax versus the lycoming should work out because even though the rotax is more fuel efficent it takes longer to get there. The real dilema is that the build time for the rv12 is going to be much quicker from what I am hearing. The dettachable wings will make hanger fees $0 (trailering to and from the airport). Is the 50 knots worth the $200 to $300 in savings in hanger fees to say the least about the build time. 10 months of hanger fees will buy a nice enclosed trailer. By the time I start to build the rv12 sould be ready. I am 46 years old and in good health. I have considered the LSA aspects of the rv12 in the event of health in the future.
I would appriciate any thoughts on this dilema.
