Van's Aircraft RV-12iS and iST

Congrats Peter Marshall – New RV-12iS SLSA Owner!

Congratulations to new airplane owner Peter Marshall, who picked up his brand-new, factory-built RV-12iS SLSA at Van’s last week to fly it home! Peter’s airplane is a Premium model and is outfitted with Garmin avionics. Being based up high near Steamboat Springs, Colorado we know that Rotax 912 iS fuel injected and electronically controlled engine will be just awesome! You can own one too – buy it or build it, it’s your choice!

“The new RV-12 is truly a breakthrough airplane, and it will change the way you think about Van's Aircraft. This factory-built Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) is ready to fly, with no assembly required. So even if you've never touched a wrench, you can own one of these amazing airplanes.” - Sportys.com

“With the RV-12, Van’s Aircraft created a light-sport aircraft that hit a sweet spot in the market while earning high marks from owners/builders.”

“The control response is light, nimble, solid, fighter plane-ish, and so natural and balanced, you feel like you've flown this bird all your life.” - Plane & Pilot Magazine

“The RV-12 may be the most good-natured, docile, yet sporty LSA I've flown yet. It feels both sweet and a little sassy.” - Plane & Pilot Magazine

“Do yourself a favor: If a low-wing, all-metal funship with wonderful handling and a good cruise are on your bucket list, don't fail to check out the Van's RV-12.” - Plane & Pilot Magazine

“In a market where most LSAs are slow sellers, Van’s hit the mark with the RV-12, delivering a model true to the company’s kit-built DNA while bridging the gap between the home-built and certified world.” - Flying Magazine
