Having completed the 10 in 2008 and flown it about 250 hours, I am considering building my third aircraft. It will probably be an RV12. Does anyone know of a set of PDF plans like we have for the 10? I would build it E-AB but would like to preview the plans prior to a decision.

Will forward you what I have from the TEEN FLIGHT project (RV-12) we are building at Van's. The plans start out as 11"x17" base sheets just like the RV-10 and Kinko's/FEDEX were nice enough to convert to PDF. We have four of the twelve Instructors with RV-12 experience. Your experience pulling pop-rivets on the Rv-10 floor make you a natural to tackle the 12. I can also report how many Rotax sit on the shelves which tend to be going out like Hotcakes at an EAA breakfast. Get ready to be working with gentle hands on the 0.020" skins. Lauren Paine has an article appearing soon on the build project sponsored by the Center for Airway Sciences.

-------------
I can second John's "gentle hands" comment with those 0.020 skins on
control surfaces of the -12. Having built a -7A and a -10 I started
handling the skins on the -12 like the prior two planes and promptly got
a couple of fingerprint depressions in the trailing edges of the rudder.
When they say 'light' in light sport, they mean it!
Also, be very careful about hole alignment, especially when building up
the HS box spar. The differences of the hole alignments are so subtle
it is very easy to get the thing assembled upside down (especially since
it's airfoil is symmetrical). Ask me how I know.
Other than that, the only two things to be aware of building the -12
after you have built a -10 is how shockingly fast the assembly goes
(e.g., set 300 rivets and close out a wing top and bottom in a few
hours) and how Van's has fallen way behind their projected delivery
dates for the kits. Waited 5 weeks beyond the original projected ship
date for the wing kit, and 6 weeks (14 weeks total wait) for the
fuselage kit. Plan early and order those kits long before you need them
or you'll have lots of time just sitting around waiting for the next kit
to arrive.
