I?m in the Tacoma Washington area. I?m planning on pulling the trigger on a RV14 in the next six months. I?m trying to find someone ?close? who may let me check out their build, it does not have to be a 14. Thanks for your time!!

I'm in the Seattle area... But not building.

I believe there are a couple current builders on FATPNW. Might be worth joining there and asking the locals.

And welcome to VAF!

It's probably worth the trip down to Van's for a tour. Did a side trip when we were in Seattle, and it was worth the trip. They have a hangar full of the demo airplanes that you can crawl all over. You also get to see the factory.

If you call ahead, you can even get a demo ride.

I'm seriously thinking of an RV14 too. There is a guy, Patrick Nelson, who is building one in Redmond (a few blocks from me). Scott Stewart is building one in Arlington. PM me and I will pass along their contact info.

I second the suggestion of joining the very active FATPNW Facebook group. A post there will probably lead to other RC14 builders.

I plans built a Zenith CH701 (N701GT, Clownfish Plane). That is tons of fun but looking for something my wife and I can travel in.

Yes, I'm in Redmond. You're welcome to stop by and take a look if you want to take the trek up north.
