messing with our minds!
 
I think they are just messing with our minds. Either that or a test balloon to see how much interest there is in a new model. From reading this, quite a bit of interest. Heck, Im interested and I just started my 9!

Or maybe they just wanted to reserve a number. It only costs $10.

RV14
 
One expectation is:

An RV12 with higher aspect motor glider wings.

Whatever the RV-14 is, the most significant thing may be that Van's appear to have enough confidence in the future of the homebuilt market and amateur aviation generally to invest in another new design.

Well, now that it's out I am sure there will be local RV folks parked at Aurora awaiting test flights. If it did not fly last weekend, it could be a while for weather to get better as rain is expected for another week.

Van's is the leader of the homebuilt market, and is expected to produce the next step. With product loyalty, he has a captive audience.

Retract? Tapered wing? No? Ah, well... Hope springs eternal... :)
