No, and I probably should not have to work that hard to figure it out. "Did anyone get any pictures of the RV-14 taildragger?" would probably have done it. And no, I was not the only one confused, just the only one with the cajones to ask. And there's an apostrophe in "didn't" in case you didn't notice.

End of flame war. I surrender.

I love living in a world where everything is always someone else's fault

Actually, I think if people looked at what forum a post is in before they respond. it would resolve a lot of confusion... (this goes for me also.... I have made the same mistake myself)

I.E., when someone posts in the RV-12 forum about their engine and then there are a bunch of replies that would only be valid in the context of a Lycoming and it gets very confusing (RV-12's don't have lycomings on them, if you didn't know).
I don't think it should be necessary for an RV-12 owner to specifically say "the Rotax 912 on my RV-12"... for the most part that is what they all have.

Am I the only one that thinks this way?

Nope, I'm with you 100%!

Although, I learned when building my -9 that when I asked a question specific to the taildragger, I learned to make it very clear I was not building a -9A and would post most taildragger related questions in the RV-7 section.

This thread makes me wish Van had never started making the kits easier to build. Then no one would have time for this.

Sorry, seemed redundant to me. Posting in the model specific 14 and having made multiple posts about the 14 taildragger, I didn't think it was necessary. Sorry it upset you so much.

Thanks Scott for defending the post. Of course there is no reason to be insulting on this platform.

Hi Stoney,

I took a demo ride in the -14A and also spent a lot of time looking at and taking pictures of the -14 taildragger up at OSH. Not sure if you're looking for a nice picture of the whole airplane or up close details...most of mine are the latter. Anyway I uploaded them to shutterfly, you can check them out here:

Hope this helps,

Thanks for posting your photos Mark, they were great. Good to see close up photos of the RV 14 when in process of building. Interesting they have been playing around with wedges on the rudder !!
Great motivation thanks.

Default Thanks for the pictures!

Mark,

The pictures are very helpful! It's nice to see some of the details of the build. I'm sure I'll be referring back to them.

Pat

I don't know what the issue is - I got it immediately.

I was taught that when IFR and ATC gives me a new squawk, just to key it in, it will change on his screen as confirmation. Eliminate redundant communications. Stoney did just that, the context was perfect. "Just the facts Mam"

But, I do have to admit to having been confused about what plane others were talking about as the posted forum is not something that jumps out from the post. I learned everything needed was quickly available. I am going to have a lot of fun learning to fly (again) with an EFIS and all it's information.
