Default N914VA Ready to Fly!

Van's east coast RV-14A (N914VA) demonstrator received her airworthiness certificate Wednesday evening from DAR David Schober.

Congratulations to Mitch for all his hard work (and patience)!

Edit: Quick correction, Mitch's N Number is N914VA, maybe an admin could change the title of the thread please? [ed. Done. dr]

Last post here from Roger was 10 days ago. He is probably right behind Mitch if not ahead.

Thanks to everyone! She looks a little different now that it's legal to take her up. As anxious as I am to fly, lots of things and people need to come together. We have it all planned out but won't be for a little while yet.

I am attending the Sebring LSA Expo next week, so it will have to be after that.

Keep watching the website. We're planning a nice video of the whole process.

Everyone.... fly safe!

My plan is to do an RV-15, whatever and whenever that will be. My swan song to aircraft building.

Not a bad way to go out I'd say.
