Love my 14A. All the performance that is promised and very fun/easy to fly. Just over 2 years to finish quickbuild.

@gabeplays9441 8 месяцев назад

In your opinion is quickbuild worth the price? How much time does it take off?

@kevlip21 8 месяцев назад

For me the it is worth the price. From my experience I was flying about 1 year earlier than slow-build. The time is a big variable, skill, resources and time. I have built 2 planes and bother were quickbuild, Zenith 750 and Vans RV14A.@@gabeplays9441

Excellent plane, can't wait to start building my 14A.

Beautiful plane, as a 25 yr old APIA ready to buy their first plane.... It's videos like this that make me ask myself if I want a certificated, or something obviously a hell of a lot more fun!

You've already answered your own question!

Very good video. Thanks for the overview Marc.

Just saw a review of the new Tecnam 2010 MkII with the IO390. Nice machine. Well over $400K and no owner/builder exemptions ($$ for maintenance). Not remotely close in performance or economy. I know, apples and oranges. But for oldsters chasing grandkids and hoping to make good time this looks like a proper time machine.

Thanks for a great video. RV-14A is truly a great aircraft.

To get from San Jose, CA to Hannover, VA, I have to transit the Rockies. In an RV-8 or RV-14 (with the IO-390-EXP119), what kind of fuel economy can I expect at FL160 compared to FL080?

@christiangraves9340 Год назад

So since its the same size as an rv-10 only a little shorter what about putting the ie2 or io-540 in it? Too much forward CG?

@KitplanesMagazine Год назад

Definitely too much engine for the airframe.

@dennisnbrown 3 года назад

what temp issues if any do you have on climb on warm days. ?

@KitplanesMagazine 3 года назад

I can query Van's on this, but the IO-390 typically does not have cylinder-temp issues; it's more likely to punish the oil, which is part of the program to update the cowling exits on the EXP installation.

Buy a brs parachute and then design a plane around it. Until you do that you'll be a below deck company. Too many old guys roaming around at Vans, it reminds me of circuit city. Old guys are ruining the company.

@danr597 3 года назад

Why would you want to carry all that extra weight around of a chute? Funny how the "below deck" company is the most popular EAB plane out there (by a wide margin) and flown by a lot of current/former commercial and mil folks. Guessing you've never flown one. If you are actually a pilot perhaps you should get a ride- may change your mind.

HAAA HAAA HAAAAA... Heee heeee heeee..... oooooo boy. Hahaha. Nice. Nice. Who are you again?

@muhammadsteinberg 2 года назад

Every once in a while I come across a totally dumb post in regards to aviation. This parachute and below deck post falls into that category. Learn proper emergency procedures and properly plan your route and you won't need a useless parachute that adds weight and adds another ridiculous inspection cost. You sound like an idiot that knows nothing about VANS or aviation.

@chrisburger4518 Год назад

As an ex Circuit City employee (joke intended) and a Cirrus SR20 pilot (the red T handle option...), I would rather have a plane with excellent flight characteristics vs a chute. That said, I have 0 hours in a 14 and 120 in a Cirrus SR. But for my money, a 14 seems like an investment in flying bliss.
