Default (from the factory) PLEASE DO NOT POWER UP YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS!
...emailed to me a moment ago from Van's

Attn: RV-12 builders!!!

It's late Friday afternoon, Sept 4th. We just received a second report of a Rotax regulator 'smoking' when the RV-12 electrical system was powered up. We're asking that RV-12 builders not power up their electrical systems until we are able to troubleshoot this problem and come up with a solution. We'll notify RV-12 builders just as soon as we've got this problem figured out.

Thanks for your cooperation and sorry about the inconvenience!

Scott Risan
Gen Manager
Van's

To bring this thread full circle Van's has come up with a fix for the RV-12 charging system.
