Its lightweight design, removable wings, and advanced engineering make it efficient to maintain and versatile to operate, meaning more time in the air and less downtime on the ground.
Performance You Can Trust
Powered by the proven Rotax 912 series engine, the RV-12iS delivers smooth, reliable, and economical performance in all conditions. With options for both fuel-injected and carbureted models, these engines are known for durability, worldwide serviceability, and the flexibility to run on either unleaded fuel or aviation gas.

Despite being in the Light Sport category, the RV-12iS stands out with its generous useful load. Two adults, a full fuel tank, and baggage can be carried comfortably without sacrificing handling or performance.

Modern Avionics
The RV-12iS is equipped with a modern glass cockpit, offering pilots and passengers the same advanced technology found in larger, more complex aircraft. Depending on the aircraft configuration, our fleet features either the Garmin G500 Autopilot or the Garmin G3X Touch avionics systems, both designed to provide clear, intuitive displays with touch-screen controls.
These panels include digital flight instruments, moving maps, GPS navigation, ADS-B traffic and weather, and integrated radios. Many are paired with two-axis autopilot capability, making flights smoother, safer, and more enjoyable.
For students, the glass panel makes learning easier with real-time information displayed in a user-friendly way. For licensed pilots renting the aircraft, it delivers confidence and capability.
