Hello. I am a newbie builder of the RV-12iS. I finished the empennage kit and I am waiting for the wing kit.
On another thread there is discussion about the advisability of less than 5200 RPM for the Rotax 912ULS at WOT, (DURING CLIMB). It has been suggested that 5100 WOT (DURING CLIMB) is permissible on the RV-12.
I currently fly a Zodiac 601 HDS with the Rotax 912ULS and I pitch my prop so that WOT is at least 5200 RPM (DURING CLIMB) because that was the recommendation. What would happen if an RV-12 was pitched to 5200 RPM WOT (DURING CLIMB)? Would that cause it to no longer fall within Sport Pilot rules? Thanks.
Regards,
Damien Graham
