Currently, the SLSA version of the RV-12 in Standard Trainer trim costs $189,500, which includes a single-screen EFIS (Dynon HDX or Garmin G3X), Garmin GTR 200 comm radio and remote transponder. You have strong control authority at these low speeds, so slipping into a crosswind or keeping the upwind wing down is not a challenge.
