Juan Browne, myself and our friends & families are building a Vans RV-12 aircraft.
In this video, we complete the second wing, get to experience a completed RV-12 that's visiting
Nevada County Airport, and we show the project to Diane's Mom.

Waddaya mean you can't hear me!!...LOL!

@ronrandall9215 Год назад

If you are going to leave her unpainted, would make for a fantastic formation flight with the coup. Two birds shining in the sun!

@18robsmith Год назад

All they'd need to do is polish off the tags on the sheet metal, and KEEP it polished.....

@ChrisB257 Год назад

Looking good James, and Juan approved. Then a chance to salivate over Dick's '12' - very smart machine. Oroville looking much better!!

I’m always amazed at the fit from vans! All my pieces have fit well first time. Shocked at how accurate everything. I almost have my 12 wings completed 👍

"I can't hear Juan." Priceless!!

@prof.heinous191 Год назад

Have to lock him in the cockpit more often! ; )

@prof.heinous191 Год назад

This is coming together fast - but not quite as fast as my first reading of the title!!

@Jack-ne8vm Год назад

Apparent bonus of rectangular wing.. no 'washout' needed. Instead of stronger gear, could you use bigger softer tires? Be interesting the weight difference Vans versus Ercoupe wings. Age wrinkles sure noticeable !

@JamesGood Год назад

Yes, that'd be an interesting comparison. Will have to try and weigh them both. The Ercoupe wing has the interesting angled ribs. I wonder how much weight the nice curved tips add...

@cogwap359 Год назад

Thanks for the update James ! The RV-12 is coming along nicely. I see you were able to capture Juan in his natural habitat. 4-6 hours to build a part - Wow! Yea, spend the $15. That be a salary of about $2.50 an hour. 😮

@Mrsournotes Год назад

Nice progress. I’d like to build this model also. I didn’t see the wing skin three final drilled holes de-burred before riveting…sleight of hand?

@JamesGood Год назад

I think so. I wish I had time to capture a full how-to, but it's really just random clips strung together. Thanks for the comment!

@paulbrunner1818 Год назад

Kudos for going for the beefier gear!

@lynnkramer1211 Год назад

That is a very nice plane that visited you fellas. I hope yours is just as nice. I like that it is a stick and rudder plane. I am an old 'Cooper' but that is okay. The youngsters should have no limits placed on them. I love that they are all so inspired.

@garygullikson6349 Год назад

Glad we don't have to use rivets in building model planes.

@nashguy207 Год назад

I am enjoying the building of the RV-12!

@mikehipperson Год назад

Coming along nicely there James. Certainly a lot cheaper to build than the Dark Aero but no retracts.

Thanks for sharing James. I soloed in a Champ in 1964. Owned a couple of J3's, one of which I flew from Indiana to the west coast. Best years of my life . . . Thanks for sharing your aviation experiences . . . Juan is the best . . . Bob

That IN to CA flight sounds great fun! I'm really treasuring my time flying now - I know it won't last forever.

@brushitoff503 Год назад

Good stuff! Thanks James & JB

@18robsmith Год назад

Great to see the progress on your RV-12 - a venture for both families 🙂

@bodenmaddoxmain Год назад

Can't wait to see if fly. :)

@risingsun_ Год назад

Good progress 🎉

@LongnoseRob Год назад

Nice progress

@joewilliams4142 Год назад

Charles will remember that rivet forever. Good job by all.

@JamesGood Год назад

haha, we've been wood-working over the past few days, we definitely need to build his arm muscles up! I end up doing all the sawing! I think I remember the same thing when Dad would be doing all the work when I was young...

@antonioiozzi291 Год назад

Oh there is also Juan " Blancolirio"! What he is doing with a RV12? Is for the kid... ah no, is it yours?

@JamesGood Год назад

We went into this project together. A project to get the kids building stuff!

@Airsally Год назад

RV -12 is looking good! Our RV-10 is coming along too.

@JamesGood Год назад

Hey AirSally. Glad to hear the RV-10 is doing well, I hope to stop by and see your build one of these days.

@Airsally Год назад

Yeah that would be sweet. We got the engine the other day.

@GerryLP1111 7 месяцев назад

Very cool insight on assembling a wing! 🤗

@paulpurcell6334 Год назад

Excellent video and subject.

@garyhand6480 Год назад

as usual your progress is great, Charles is getting along well!

@NOELTM Год назад

I came here from Juan's channel. I just wanted to say that I think what you and Juan and your friends are doing for your respective children - and having them take part in the build - is fantastic. Sharing the build with us is just the cherry on the cake. All the best for the rest of the build and for many happy days of flying to come.
