Folks:

Thanks for sending it, Rick!

Folks,

I have finally managed to insert 9 photos of First Flights that happened before the last posting to the Photo Album.

It has been necessary to change the captions from "89th RV-12 to Fly" to "05/23/2011 First Flight" (for example). It has become too difficult to change all the numbers below the inserted photo every time a photo had to be inserted in the middle of the Photo Album.

Sorry for this change. I really liked the numbers, even though we all know they were inaccurate.

So, for future postings to the Photo Album, please find the RV-12 you want to view by DATE of First Flight.

The 9 photos inserted are:

05/23/2011 Gerald Banak
10/29/2011 Karl Mayer
03/05/2012 Rich Schaller
04/06/2012 Mark Fabiano
05/29/2012 Bob Browning
05/29/2012 Peter van den Heuvel
06/30/2012 Larry Hutchinson
08/19/2012 Charles McKinny
09/18/2012 Dick Richardson

I have many more RV-12s to add. SOON.

There are some great RV-12's in this group! Find them at the end of the Photo Album, in order of First Flight DATE.

I have a "New Year's Resolution", starting a little late in the year, to keep up with these new flights in the timely fashion I used to do 2 years ago. These builders of new RV-12's deserve no less. They are my heros, my inspiration as I struggle with my own build.

Folks,

I just posted two photos of Oren Heatwole's RV-12, N330JA SN 120228.
It has a Jab 3300 engine and fuel tanks in the wings.
His RV-12 has been awarded "Grand Champion Light Sport" at the 2013 SUN 'n FUN!

Thanks to all who helped me find his photos.

You can find the photos at "07/11/2012 First Flight" in the Photo Album.

Thanks, Don, for posting the painted picture.

'LV actually came out of the paint shop 12 months ago but the thread has reappeared after Joeri blatantly stole the design.....
