I’m about 2/3 through building an RV12iS and enjoying it. Have built and flown a Glasair Sportsman TWTT, and owned and mostly maintained a C172 (with Franklin 220 and CS prop, wheels, floats, and amphibs). Am reaching an age (83) when I fly less and enjoy building more. My question is …… what is it like to build RV’s as an enterprise….. build one at a time and sell them?
I ask this because my kids, and grand kids have flown and built with me before and we’ve all enjoyed it (2 kids/grandkids now have Private licenses, and one more has Private, Instrument and Commercial).
Now another 25 yr old family member is interested to build and fly. Would it make sense to build 1-2 RV 12iS’s as a way to provide him with aviation experience, work on a Private license and earn a little money?
What do you think??
