Van's sense of humor
This caught my eye as I was looking through the RV-14 parts list in Section 4 page 3. I had to chuckle that "Lot$ of Money" was listed under the column heading of "Make From Material"
EA XIO-390-A3B6 RT
ENGINE
Lot$ of money
MANUFACTURED

There are several funny quotes in the -14 plans. That's about right though.....made from 35,500 dollar bills.

On my RV-6 plans I like the one in the wheel fairing section that states to take your time and get it right and you will have a nice finished product and that you will be glad that the rest of the airplane is not fiberglass.

I suspect this is the work of Ken Scott.

My favorite, from the pictorial section on gear fairings and wheelpants:
"Bottom left: the hardened slurry is sanded to a smooth surface.
After the usual filling and sanding, the landing gear fairings are
painted and begin a hard, hard life."

I like the boxes that state "High Dollar Aircraft Parts"
Not exactly the best english but it gets the point across.

These little nuggets are sprinkled throughout the construction manual. The most recent one I recall was from the instructions on opening up the forward longeron angles. It was something along the lines of "Place the open side of the angle on a hard flat surface and strike the vertex with a hammer. If you can't get the angle to change, get a bigger hammer."

This one produced one of those "interesting" marriage moments when my wife pulled into the garage and saw that box lid on my work table. It took quite a while before things resumed near-normal status.

Van doesn't do dating advice
In the RV-14 plans (17-09, step 10) for installing the wing lens, the plans state:
Someone with small hands works well here. Tips for acquiring spouses or
children for this purpose are not covered within the scope of these documents.

That is an especially good one....
