Your air conditioned RV14A was such a cool airplane- wish I would have seen it for sale. The parachute is nice tho and Cirrus interiors are top notch. Awesome info- thanks for posting.
I have a beautiful RV14A that has everything. 2 x G3x, pro built, aerotronics panel, backup alt + battieries. light. 100 hours. Would consider selling.
The Entega PFD/MFD can be problematic and they are &8k each flat rate rebuild or warranty for $2500 per year. They would be the only thing I would replace as the center stack is the best you can get and is only 6 years old. If I thought the Entegra was more reliable I would leave it because I really like the way it works.
$30k more, less useful load, need to be over 11k to see any real speed benefit, more maintenance, more fuel burn. In my TR182 it was somewhat underpowered at 235HP and needed the turbo to make higher HP above 6-7k. This plane makes 310HP and still makes 200HP at 11k which is plenty. If I was flying the Rockies a lot or high density altitude I would buy the turbo, but for the majority of my trips I am flying at a 1500 DA and my highest obstacles entities are 7k or less.
