Building an RV-12 has never been easier or faster! The construction manual supplied by Van's Aircraft is already accurate and complete. A builder watching the step by step video from HomebuiltHELP (which is "keyed" to the construction manual) will build faster and with more confidence. That is because the video provides the visual presentation of each task completion from the construction manual - page by page and step by step!
In the corner of the video screen is a continuous display of the step and page number from the construction manual. As you read Van's written instructions, you can immediately see the results of that step AND suggestions for completing the task if additional help is required. This saves time and frustration in interpreting the written word. It also allows the builder to "see ahead" in construction, as well as rewind and fast forward - visually. This double disk DVD is the first in a series of videos being developed to cover the entire build process for the Van's RV-12 aircraft kit. It covers the complete empennage/tailcone kit as supplied by Van's Aircraft. It is a great starting place to begin your project – there are no prerequisite assemblies that need to be completed before starting. The empennage/tailcone DVDs take you from the very beginning steps of assembling the stabilator, rudder and tailcone sections of the aircraft - all in the exact sequence of building as specified by the construction manual. The pictures on this page were captured from the actual video footage to show an example of the coverage provided in this video volume. You can view a short video snippet from these DVDs below. Note: This production is not associated or endorsed by Van's Aircraft. It does not replace or supersede the documentation provided with the kit. It is meant to be an aid in building the aircraft and its methods are presented only as a suggestion to builders. This affordable 2 disk DVD video is approximately 2.5 hours in length and is divided into various video chapters to make navigation and review of desired sections fast and easy. They are completing production on the subsequent volumes of the RV-12 build (that are also sequenced to the sub-kits as provided by Van's Aircraft). |
