2024 Vans RV-12ISSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 2024 Vans RV-12IS represents a brand-new Light Sport Aircraft built through an educational initiative, offering both customization options and support for aviation training programs. The aircraft features a Rotax 912ULS engine paired with a Sensenich composite ground-adjustable propeller, designed for efficient performance in the LSA category. Its advanced Garmin avionics suite includes a G3X Touch display, GTX 23 ES transponder, GEA 24 engine monitor, and dual-axis autopilot with GMC-305 controller, providing comprehensive situational awareness and IFR-capable instrumentation (though currently configured for VFR operations).

Notably, this RV-12IS was constructed by high school students through the Tango Flight nonprofit program, with final paint and interior customization completed by Texarkana College A&P students. Buyers can specify their preferred interior materials, colors, and exterior paint scheme at no additional cost, professionally applied as part of the college’s curriculum. The aircraft includes practical features like quick-adjust seats, USB ports, and a TCW backup battery, while proceeds from the sale directly fund student aviation education and A&P certification pathways. This collaboration results in a fully personalized aircraft that also supports the next generation of aviation professionals.
