Wings also include movable surfaces like ailerons (used to roll the plane left or right) and flaps (used to increase lift at lower speeds, especially during takeoff and landing). They also become familiar with systems like the Flight Management System (FMS) and transponder , which helps air traffic control identify and track aircraft.

Depressions in the vertical stabilizer and rudder, as well as stabilator skins and ailerons, all help increase panel stiffness while allowing less under-skin structure. So its been upgraded with a pair of Garmin G5 EFIS displays and a GTN 650 mated to a GTX 345 Mode S transponder. There were 23 runway loss of control (RLOC) events.

Currently, the SLSA version of the RV-12 in Standard Trainer trim costs $189,500, which includes a single-screen EFIS (Dynon HDX or Garmin G3X), Garmin GTR 200 comm radio and remote transponder. On the walkaround, you doubtlessly noted the full-span flaperons (flaps plus ailerons as one unit). With a 41-knot stall speed, the common 1.3
