RV-12 PROTOTYPE FLIES
Van's Aircraft's entry in the LSA category had its first flight last
Thursday. The mini-RV, which sports many of the characteristics of its
larger stablemates (bubble canopy and a big, fat wing), was flown by
company founder Dick VanGrunsven, who put it through a variety of speed
profiles and basic handling tests. "It's far too early to make any
statements about what the airplane is like or what it will do, or what
the performance numbers may eventually be," said Van's Web site. "We
can report that when Van taxied in and opened the swing-up canopy, he

One of the many requirements to register an aircraft as an LSA is
that the manufacturer has to state that he has ground and flight
tested the aircraft (FAR 21.190 (c)(7). Van has still to demonstrate
that the aircraft meets the LSA requirements (stall speed, max speed,
etc). There are a whole bunch of paperwork requirements that he
would have to comply with to register the aircraft as an LSA. It
will be much more practical to register the aircraft as an experimental.
