Rahul Saini replied to Ronald A. Russ's discussion RV12 with Viking Engine for $37,000"Hi Ron, It was nice talking to you today. I think you can do a great glass panel for ~$2k to make this a true ~$39k brand spanking new plane (no paint though). Here is what can be done relatively easily and in a budget,
