I completed this RV-12 in March 2012 and had it painted in Navy T-34 colors in July. The plane is a joy to fly and I found all the Vans performance numbers to be right on the money. This is my 4th homebuilt, and if I had known how great the Vans kits are I never would have built the other three! I have about 50 hours on the airframe with no problems to date. Operating costs are about $18/hr for premium auto gas.
