Aircraft Model Overview

The RV-12iS a two-seat all-metal side-by-side airplane with a large cabin that seats the occupants ahead of the wing spar for maximum room and superb visibility. There are several features that make it a unique RV. The RV-12iS meets the certification standards of the Light Sport Aircraft category. You can get into the air either in an aircraft built from one of our kits or in a factory-built, ready-to-fly-home model licensed in the Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) category. You can find complete details about our factory-built RV-12iS and RV-12iST trainer SLSA models here. The RV-12iS wings are quickly and easily removable. Using methods proven over decades in high-performance sailplanes, two people can have the wings off the airplane in less than five minutes, making it easy to transport on a trailer and keep off-airport. [Highlights] Van’s Aircraft strives to continually improve what many consider to be the finest aircraft designs and home-built kits in the industry. The “original” RV-12 took the Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA) market by storm in 2008. A few years later we added the Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) option, enabling flight schools and individual owners to purchase completely finished airplanes that they can pick up and fly home from the factory. To date, more than 1,100 kits have been purchased. And there are a lot of RV-12s gracing the skies. More than 600 RV-12s are being flown worldwide by student pilots, sport pilots, private pilots, and more. Impressive is an understatement! And now you can have the latest model — the RV-12iS It’s powered by your choice of a modern, fuel-injected Rotax 912 iS Sport or the 912 ULS 100 horsepower engine. These rugged little engines didn’t become the worldwide standard in Light Sport aircraft by accident. Extensive real-world experience has proven it to be durable, reliable, and economical in all sorts of conditions, all over the world. The 912 iS Sport fuel-injected engine is computer controlled for maximum efficiency and delivers greater torque (and even more aircraft performance) than its carburetor-fed brother. A gearbox reduction drive keeps the prop in the most efficient rpm range. Maintenance is available worldwide and it can be powered with either unleaded autogas or 100LL. The RV-12 is equipped with a ground-adjustable Sensenich composite propeller — light, smooth and affordable. The light empty weight allows a generous and truly useful load — two 185 lb people, a full tank holding 20 gallons of fuel, plus 50 lbs of baggage. And it gets even better when you experience unusually terrific performance at max gross weight. All of this is a rarity in the Light Sport Category, where other aircraft tend to leave their owners wanting for both useful load and performance.
