The EAA180 Teen Build Program
Aircraft for Sale
The TAFM is in the process of building our seventh and eighth RV-12.
​
Our first aircraft was sold eight 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 was completed in November 2025 and is owned by a local pilot that is part of EAA Chapter 180 and led the build of his own aircraft.
​
Number 7 is nearly complete. We are hoping to have the FAA airworthiness inspection by the end of 2025 and offer it up for sale in early 2026. Our owner was able to pick all options for the aircraft during the build.
​​
The kits for airplane #8 have been ordered from Van's Aircraft and we are building that aircraft now. We project a 2026 completion.
