It is hard to believe that my 12 is almost ready to fly after 11 months. For those 12 owners that don?t know, I went a little different route and build my 12 as an EAB. I used the Rotax and avionics off of my LSA and sold the Hornet without Avionics and 912. The Rotax had about 100 hours on it (4 oil changes).
Monday night was a big milestone she fired up without even a full turn of the prop. (video link below) The 912 was removed off of my Sporthornet back in Oct and she has been sitting for 10 months to come back to life.
Tuesday night after work was consumed with on the last min checks for the DAR?s visit. I also installed a custom longer Pitot tube. This was due to the mods I made for the external alternator and Sensenich prop extender. Mark B another RV12 builder on the field came by and assisted. Extra set of hands was great since hoses were in place.
Just a few photos during the journey and two short videos.
