Default Anyone with a completed -14/14a willing to offer a demo?

I'm gearing up for the start of my build. I've narrowed down to either the -7/7a or the -14/14a. Captain_John was awesome to swing by my home airport yesterday for a quick ride in his -7, and now I need a ride in a -14/14a before making the call. Tools are ordered, benches are being built this week, and now I need to pull the trigger!

I'm in Central MA, and I'm happy to make the trip out to Van's, if necessary. Hoping and wondering whether there is someone closer, though. Ideally, looking to find someone that I could fly commercial to get to, and head home same day.

I know there are only a handful flying, so this may be a long shot, but I'd appreciate any leads.

Default Closer option

Contact Mitch Lock (Vans East Coast rep). He is in MD, built a 14, and I believe he does demo rides.

Default This may help you

We took our demo flight with Mitch Lock, in his new 14A, back in September. I can not say enough good things about our experience. He is located in Maryland. Here is a link to my post about our flight:

Here is the contact information for Mitch from Vans website.

East Coast Representative

Mitchell Lock
In 2009, Van's engaged Mitchell Lock as our East Coast representative. Mitch has an RV-10 and RV-12 demo airplane available in Maryland. Contact him directly to schedule a ride in these RV models, if his location is more convenient for you.

Excellent! I just reached out to Mitch. Looks like we're going to be able to set something up within the next couple weeks in MD. Thank you very much!
