I have flown the -12, it was Dick Van Grunsmens own RV12, he built himself just to prove the kit was as planned.
Of all the LSA aircraft I have flown, this one handles the best, and is so docile in the stall it is not funny.
This guy was stick and rudder skilled allegedly, so nothing short of a fire in the cockpit or a massive bird strike or equally exceptional event should have brought this result.
Very sad.
