As I was doing my usual weekend lurking here on VAF and dreaming of RVs, something about the tip up canopies of the RV-12 and RV-6/7/9 series occurred to me.
The approach Vans took to each is quite different and, although I've not built either, it seems as if the RV-12 approach is simpler. Granted you don't have the immediate wide open access to the back of the panel but it seems more of a KISS approach.
Wonder why they changed it...structure of the 12 forward fuse would not support the other way? Or maybe it's a more evolved approach learned from the challenges (my perception) folks have in building the 6/7/9 type?
OK...back to the garage sale (aka another step with Dave Ramsey )
