	More work on the Stabilator Spar - Part 4 Work continues on the RV-12iS Stabilator Spar Box, adding more and more items before attaching the ribs and the outer skin.

	RV-12iS Horizontal Stabilizer: Vlog #2 In this video I'm assembling the Spar Cap for the horizontal stabilizer of the RV-12iS.

	RV-12iS Horizontal Stabilizer: Vlog #1 In this video I'm putting the Hinge Brackets together for the front spar or the horizontal stabilizer of the RV-12iS.

	RV-12iS - Rudder Spar Assembly - Plus Video Documentation Tip In this video, we're assembling the Rudder Spar and doing a test fit. Also, we show how we video our work, plus the equipment used.

	RV-12iS Vertical Stabilizer - Part 2 In this video, we're finishing off the Vertical Stabilizer portion of the RV-12iS. Next, the Rudder!

	RV-12iS Project Update - Vertical Stabilizer - Part 1 We started working on the vertical stabilizer and tried out "the wedge", using our new Milwaukee M12 cordless pop riveter. Very nice! The RV-12iS shown in the beginning of the video was built by high school students in McKinney, Texas.

	Van's Aircraft RV-12iS Tail Kit Inventory It's time to check our order to make sure that all the parts are there.

	Vans Aircraft RV-12iS Unboxing Watch as we unbox an RV-12iS from Van's Aircraft. This is an exciting time, to build an actual Airplane!
