We are making great progress with our first year RV-12 Build!
The kids and the mentors are doing great, really high quality work. We have completed the rudder, the vertical stabilizer, and are working on the stabilator.
We have received and inventoried the Empenage and Fuselage kits, and should have the Wing kit before Thanksgiving break.
The class is setup so that the kids are rotating between the PLTW Aerospace Academics, building the airplane, and interning with local businesses at the KGTU airport. Truly an incredible experience for the kids.
We have had success raising money to pay for the first three kits, but we need to pull the funds together to pay for the finish kit, firewall forward, and avionics kits.
Along those lines, please take a moment and check out the GoFundMe site that we setup.

There is a good writeup with links to the really cool AOPA article on our program and a link to our Facebook page with tons of pictures (one of the students grandparents is a professional photographer!).
If you would like to make a donation on the GoFundMe site it would be greatly appreciated. Even a few dollars, but even if you don't, please take a few minutes to read about the incredible work these kids are doing.
If anyone would like to make a donation and needs it to be tax deductible we can do that as well, please PM me and I'll get you details for that.
Thanks for taking a look!
