We sell our beloved RV-12 as we upgraded to an IFR capable 4-seater. The RV-12 runs flawlessly and feels almost new with 329,9 hrs. The RV-12 is the perfect bird for the cost-efficient start into aviation and for all the pilots who are more into flying than into paying bills. The plane was always hangared and has a (cheap) hangar spot at EDVM (Hildesheim) at the moment.
Interior
The interior is a 10/10. The grey interior has no stains or spots and is perfectly intact. Seats are comfortable and the 6-point safety harness is in perfect shape as well.
Exterior
The exterior is a 9/10. The plane has of course no corrosion or any other major dents. Some micro-scratches would need a professional polish for both coating and canopy. Lights are all LED and widely visible. The wings can be removed in a few minutes. A fixture to store the wings is included and allows for optimized storage.
Modifications / STCs
• Mogas capable (and recommended). Does also happily consume UL91 and Avgas (recommended above FL70).
