Hello from a new to the forum and a almost RV12 owner. I stopped flying in 1993 as a PPSEL working on my instrument rating. Now retired and able to fly again as a Rec pilot in a eLSA and was lucky enough to fly a RV12 before I bought a plane kit.
Anyhow, I am in the process of buying is low hour bird that has the back window spider web cracked above the fuel filter. Builder tells me it is from fuel splashing and is common.
Is it common?
Is it a concern other than looking bad?
If I purchase a new piece from Vans is it a direct fit?
This plane does not have Nav lights, I like them for the safety component.
If I but the nav only light from Vans does that include the fiberglass and mounting brackets as well.
Is there a more cost effective option?
Plane is in the local Rotax certified shop right now getting a 100 hour inspection and ADSB in out installed and should be done soon.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts
Gene
