My RV-12 is finally at the paint shop. :) I decided on Hawk Aircraft Painting at Tampa Executive Airport. They've had it for two weeks, so far ... one week to go. Pictures are on my build web site

| Jerry, can you estimate your total build time for us? RV-12 would definitely be my homebuilt of choice, if I were going that route, |

Van suggests it will take 800-900 hours to complete. My personal build time was 1000 hours plus I had someone complete my plane doing the canopy, avionics and engine for an additional 300 hours (I was in the hospital with my second triple bypass surgery at the time). So total build time was 1000 non-experienced builder hours plus 300 experienced hours = 1300 hours.
More paint added since my last post ... www.jerryg150rv12.blogspot.com |
