This 3 part video (originally sold as 3 DVDs) is the third in a series of videos being developed to cover the entire build process for the Van's RV-12  aircraft kit. It covers the complete FUSELAGE kit as supplied by Van's Aircraft. It is a great  place to continue with your project after completing the WING kit.  The FUSELAGE kit DVD takes you from the very beginning steps of assembling the fuselage section of the aircraft - all in the exact sequence of building as specified by the manufacturer's construction manual.  The pictures on this page were captured from the actual video footage to show an example of the coverage provided in this video volume. You can view a short video snippet from these DVDs below.

Note: This production is not associated or endorsed by Van's Aircraft. It does not replace or supersede the documentation provided with the kit.  It is meant to be an aid in building the aircraft and its methods are presented only as a suggestion to builders.

This 3 part video is just shy of 6 hours in length and is divided into various video chapters to make navigation and review of desired sections fast and easy
