Although I havent spent much time around GB1s (except for drooling over them while they are on display and flying at airshows) I am always taken aback by how much larger the airplane appears to be in personparticularly, the tall, sweeping rudder that curves down to a sharp point with just enough ground clearance.

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. The rudder hardly calls attention to itself outside of having plenty of authority. The RV-12 is, of course, all metal. A nuance, perhaps.

Additional equipment includes electric pitch trim, rudder trim, Flightcom six-place intercom, cabin ventilation fan, auxiliary power receptacle, and aileron gap seals.

With a maximum takeoff weight of 2,400 pounds and a maximum gross weight that ensures stability, this aircraft is robust enough to handle a variety of flying conditions. The control yoke and rudder pedals offer precise control, contributing to the ease of flying. Aerodynamic enhancements are another area of focus.

The previous CTs had a stabilator for pitch, where the new F2 uses a more conventional elevator and fixed horizontal stabilizer. With the F2, the rudder and vertical stabilizer are changed, with the rudder becoming a much smaller surface than before. Out back, theres an entirely new tail. Well see about that.
