Is RV-12 aerobatic?
The RV-12 is a real airplane. It’s no high-performance aerobatic airplane, but flying through various basic maneuvers makes you want to do them over and over again just because it’s such fun. The RV-12 is able to get a lot of performance from its 100 horsepower, liquid cooled Rotax engine.

Is RV 9 aerobatic?
It is possible to perform a series of aerobatic maneuvers at cruise power, not exceed 3 or 4 G, and gain altitude at the same time. Although RVs are capable aerobatic aircraft, we do not recommend them for serious competition aerobatics. The RV-9/9A, RV-10 and RV-12 are not designed for aerobatic flight.
Can an RV-6 do aerobatics?
The RV-6 is limited to 1375lbs max weight for aerobatics. With our aircraft this means 75 litres of fuel and one adult is all you can get in to stay within this weight limit. For fatigue we will probably limit acceleration to 3G in normal aerobatics.

What is the RV-10’s performance?
When many pilots say “performance” they really mean “speed.” The RV-10 is a fast airplane – it will cruise just under 200 mph – but speed is only part of the story. The RV-10 derives its high cruise speed from a clean, light airframe instead of from a big, consumptive engine. This means cruise at lower speeds can be very economical.
Are the rv-9/9a and rv-10/12 designed for aerobatic flight?
The RV-9/9A, RV-10 and RV-12 are not designed for aerobatic flight. The design operational stress limit for the RV-9/9A is utility category (+4.4/-1.75 G) at less than 1600 pound gross weight and is standard category (+3.8/-1.5 G) between 1600 pounds and the aircraft’s design gross weight.
