I wanted to share with all of the new and Future RV12 builders a tool that assisted me by cutting down the build time, reducing the OOPs errors, and enhancing the building process. I purchase the video series from HomebuiltHELP a few months ago.These videos have allowed me to cut the build time down significantly. I still go by the Vans plans to the letter, but I read the section first, watch the video, then read again, and then build. This has been a great tool, at least for me. I do recommend it to anyone building in the future.
I just ordered the Rotax video and got to talk to John, he shared some of his experiences building the 12 on the video.
They came out AFTER I had completed a lot of my airferame, but the DVD's will definitely save you money and time. It is amazing how much information you can miss while following the plans even. I came to find that prior to even unpacking a particular assembly crate, watch the video a couple of times from start to finish. Makes the assembly so much easier.
Donald I truly think I have saved 10 to 20% in time and sanity. Who knows how many mistakes that I would have made and would take additional time to go back and fix
