It is my hope that this blog is useful to others. I ordered the Empennage/Tailcone Kit to build first in the RV14A project. To that end, I endeavor to provide high quality images of the process, explain my approaches to building, accurately disclose my mistakes, itemize all costs and reference sources for materials and information. ![]() My vision for this blog is to be the kind of blog I would want to read if I were building the RV-14A. It’s HAPPENING Airplane Build Status VLOG 1. Holy Crap How do we Start - Airplane Build Status VLOG 2. When this airplane finally takes its first flight, it will be quite a personal feat and the start of a whole new chapter. FlightChops: The RV-14 Build Has Started Steve Flight Chops Thorne and team have received the tail kit, and are starting the build of the RV-14 from Van’s View the first two episodes from this project below. It has challenged my finances, expanded my appreciation of aeronautical engineering, forever changed the way I look at aircraft and found me many new wonderful friends.

You just can't beat the intersection of performance and price with many homebuilts.

Thus, it took 2,795.7 hours to build this aircraft. Whom I owe a massive debt of gratitude for his dedication to my aircraft. A single helper donated 461 hours of his time to myīuild - the aircraft could not have been completed without him and to An additional 599.69 hours of help from eight others was obtained, each of which were invaluable to finishing the project. Right column in this blog and below, 2,196.01 hours total build time were invested ![]()
