You're very welcome Mark. To all: Beware of this bug. It bites hard.

I too have been lurking around the VAF forum for some time now. It is time to come out of the shadows. My first kit is scheduled to arrive March 16. Thank you to all of you ?early adopters? blazing the trail and documenting your RV-14 work in such exquisite detail.

Welcome to the AirForce
 
and congrats on your new kit. This is a good place to read and learn and I have made it my habit to troll about a bit myself before each chapter.

EAA 1000 benches are rocking. I love mine and wonder why I did not have a set 25 years ago. I got an DRDT 2 and I will leave you to the forums on tools. I went for an Avery set since I either could not find my dads stuff or it was so old and out of repair to be servicable (except some of the awesome bucking bars I found).

This kit is amazing and for a firstie it has been a joy. The plans format is awesome. Again welcome aboard.

Good luck former NWA commuter roomie. Friend and I cranked out an RV-4 in one year. Beat that!

Caveat: the wings were already done by Art Chard.:D

My brother-in-law was going to buy a RV year and a half back and really liked the 14. The RV14 had just been out a little while and he was smart enough to know after doing his homework that it would take too long so he went with a RV7. I'm building the the RV7 for him and I have enjoyed it so much that "MY" RV14 (212) has just been uncreated/inventoried and resting peacefully in the hanger. Got empennage and quick build wings with no damage during shipment thanks to Vans changing shippers! Go with ABF. Crates where is perfect condition. Our Garmin duel G3X/GTN750 IFR certified composite prewired panel for 7 will be here from Stein next week. She is 80% complete.

I'm in hi gear on the 7 because my brother-in-law has bought about 8 grand worth of tools to build his 7 and says I can't use them on my 14 till his 7 is finished! Ha. He owns the hanger too. Ah, it will be so nice when I start my vertical stab to actually know what I'm doing.....maybe. Boy, plans look nice! Sure like the ability to do searches on PDF plans:)

Welcome to VAF Lloyd
 
Welcome to VAF Lloyd. I'm envious that you are working on your brother-in-laws 7 and now have your RV-14 kit to start. Maybe after Sun-N-Fun when my wonderful wife sits in the RV-14 she'll say get started...happy wife, happy life.
Cheers,
George

Thanks Ross. Boy, you nailed my biggest problem building an RV. After 38 years of marriage to a wonderful women if I hear "When are you coming home from the hanger" one more time I think I'm going to blow a gasket on all cylinders.

RV7 would be flying months ago if.........my lawyer just told me to shut the heck up! Can't wait to pound some rivets on "my" plane. Going to back rivet everything possible. No lake effect!
