                                   Removable Wings
The RV-12 was designed from the start to be “trailerable.” Light, easily removable wings make it practical to keep the airplane at home, or hangar it in corners where nothing else will fit.

Pull a pair of pins behind the seats and the wings come off in a few seconds. All control and wiring connections are automatic and an ignition interlock prevents the engine from starting if the wings are not properly installed.

The RV-12 panel features a Dynon D180 FlightDek, Garmin SL-40 comm radio, Garmin GTX-327 transponder and a Garmin 496 GPS. An optional Dynon AP74 Autopilot and Dynon D100 passenger side EFIS (replaces the standard map box) are also installed. Panel mounted fuses and switches handle the circuitry. 
         
                                
Four Stroke Rotax Power
        

The 100 hp four-stroke Rotax 912 ULS has become the most widely used engine in the world in Light Sport class aircraft. And for good reason — it’s proven itself in all kinds of conditions, all over the world. It’s designed to operate on unleaded auto fuel. Altitude compensating carburetors automatically adjust mixture and a gearbox reduction drive keeps the prop in the most efficient rpm range.
