As Scott mentioned, most U.S. registered RV-12s are E-LSA, so they didn?t show up in the database we used for the article. Nevertheless, we did take a look at all 652 RV-12s in the FAA records at the end of last year, and here?s what we found:
75 were registered E/A-B
3 were registered E-LSA using the original rules that allowed any qualified E/A-B to be licensed as E-LSA until 1/31/2008
413 were registered as conventional E-LSA
8 were registered E-LSA that were converted from S-LSA
3 were registered as Experimental Unmanned Aircraft! (We suspect this is an error in the records.)
77 were registered as SLSA
73 have blanks in the certification entry, so we were unable to determine if they were registered as E-LSA, S?LSA or E/A-B.
Rob shows 670 RV-12s in the U.S., so it looks like there are 18 more than there were when we looked at the records.
