I will have more details in the next couple of flights. I was saying how the 14 jumps off the runway, watch that in the video. This ain't your daddy's Cessna.

Congrats Stoney, nice to see a customer built -14 airborne.
How many hours total did you log building it?

Engine Temps

I'll be interested in hearing about engine temps too. The Kitplanes article that Paul Dye wrote a few months ago said that both the -14 and -14A factory demo planes run cool and stated that Ryan at Vans was thinking about ways to reduce cooling airflow (to reduce drag). However I don't think either of the Vans demo planes have electronic ignition, which most people seem to be running these days, and that would increase CHTs compared to mags.

Hey Stoney,
That looks like a mil-issue control tower. Are you at Belle Chase?
