AeroSports Update: EAA Sweepstakes 2017 Prize Is Chosen

You Could Win A Van’s RV-12 In The 2017 EAA Sweepstakes

Everyone looks forward to what EAA chooses as their AirVenture grand prize, and for the year 2017 it’s going to be a great little airplane that anyone could enjoy. It’s a light sport beauty that can be perfect for sporty transportation, or flight training. This is certainly not the time to let your drawing ticket sit in a drawer.

For more than 40 years, the Van’s Aircraft models have refined sport aviation and become the world’s most popular kit aircraft. That now includes the fun flying built into the factory-built RV-12 S-LSA, which is the grand prize for the 2017 EAA Sweepstakes.

EAA reminds you that you can enter to win by visiting the EAA Sweepstakes link, mailing in an official entry form included in select issues of Sport Aviation, or by visiting the sweepstakes building during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017.

While entering the sweepstakes is free, EAA tells us that when you make a donation with your sweepstakes entry, you support EAA programs that educate, engage, empower, and inspire the aviators of tomorrow. And remember, while a donation will not improve your chances of winning, it can mean a lot to the good works that EAA performs.

The RV-12, painted Tahoe Blue, will remind you just why you love to fly. The aircraft boasts a Rotax 912ULS engine and a dual display Dynon SkyView HDX avionics system for power and ease. The low empty weight allows a generous useful load — up to two 210-pound passengers, 20 gallons of fuel, and 50 pounds of gear — something rare in the light-sport category. Enter today for your chance to win, and see what the “RV Grin” is all about. The wings may also be easily removed for aircraft storage.

The second prize winner will receive an EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 VIP package. Experience Oshkosh like never before with weekly passes for two plus camping, a $500 merchandise voucher, special rides on EAA’s Bell Helicopter, B-17, and Ford Tri-Motor, and more.
