Title: RV12 Shipping
Post by Jason King on 03.12.2008 at 20:14:24

I'm still considering building a 12 and am in the process of pricing, finding a new house to rent with a garage to build in and discussing things with Tim who's been really helpful as ever and reckons if he comes up north for a couple of weekends then we'd have an RV12 built.........

Anyway I though I'd share the shipping costs I have so far for the RV12.

RV-12 toolkit for $1,375.94 from Avery plus $170-$180 shipping to Manchester - Prices from Avery
RV-12 fuselage to Manchester. Air freight by BAX Global: $405.28 Sea freight thru Geo. S. Bush forwarding: $415 - Prices from Barbara at Vans
RV-12 wings to Manchester. $1300 by air freight and $850 by sea freight - Prices from Barbara at Vans

If you've wondered what the RV-12 fasten kit contains I'm told by its a box of 10,000 rivets (the majority size used on the airplane) and the Standard Aircraft handbook (reference guide).

I hope this information on proves helpful.

Jason

Jason,

Thanks for the info. It's exactly the sort of thing we need to help us understand this 'dark art' ;)
