Must admit - it does look good !Peter L wrote:It has been a long time since anyone has added to this thread ... and although I'm no longer a shareholder in ZU-XII, I thought I'd add a few photos.
It would seem that our paint design & colour scheme, which was a genuine 10 man effort, is proving popular. Two American builders have painted their RV-12's exactly like XII

Re: I have a dream...Build, Learn, Fly! RV-12
Hi to XII's team members! You guys have gone very quiet?(Probably too busy flying
).
How about an update on the plane - TT, how has it been going? etc.
Also how has the partnership worked out? Are you finding that you get spots easily to fly or is it a bit restrictive?
I dont mean to pry, simply would like to hear toe positives and negatives of this whole approach to aircraft ownership.

I have been flying her (doing LSA training) as often as I could (WX permitting) and went solo on 22 Dec. She is a real little beaut !AndyCAP wrote:Hi to XII's team members! You guys have gone very quiet?(Probably too busy flying).

Is that is now 4 builder/pilots that did the majority of their training on ZEXII? Martin, Gerrit, Justin and You?

Re: I have a dream...Build, Learn, Fly! RV-12
No those lines should never be routed like that in the first place, and the RV12 has a fuel return line. RegardsWalid wrote:RudiGreyling wrote:
