Aircraft for Sale
The TAFM is in the process of building our sixth RV-12.
Our first aircraft was sold five years ago and has clocked over 1,400 hours. Our second RV-12 was sold to a young pilot from New Mexico. It was completed in Fall 2018 and the paint job was completed in early 2019. Our third RV-12 was sold to a new pilot from the East Coast of Florida. It was completed in Summer 2020. Our fourth flew to a new home near Raleigh NC in September 2023. Number 5 is now complete and sold in June 2024. She will be staying nearby at the Sarasota FL airport (SRQ) in great hands with her new owners.
​
Number 6 is underway. We're building this one for the final owner. He gets to pick which options he wants along the way.
​
Aircraft #7 was recently acquired as a partially completed RV-12 kit that needs to be finished. We expect #7 to be completed in late 2025. The kit for airplane #8 has been ordered from Van's Aircraft and we expect to begin building that aircraft after the completion of #6 in early 2025. Aircraft #8 has been ordered and we should be working on that in 2025 with a projected 2026 completion.
