Oshkosh Order status
I understand that I am one of about 39 people who ordered a 14 empennage at Oshkosh 2019. I am a horribly impatient person. Amazon same day delivery works great for me...
I know many of us have signed paper work and processed payments. My question to the collective is, has anyone scheduled delivery? I need to stop checking my email every hour and I am trying not to bug the mothership... PM or reply posts welcome 😁.

I ordered on the first day of Oshkosh and the tailcone kit arrived 2 days ago.
So I'm now the proud owner of kit 140657.
The first 9 rivets have now been set!

Thanks
Mark,
I'm only 4 kits numbers behind you so hopefully I will hear something soon. Congrats on your already set rivets!

While you wait . . . .
You could continue your self training by drilling out all the rivets in the training kit and rebuilding it. It is a good skill to have. I thinned down the tip of an HF automatic center punch and made a couple of bars with a hole in the middle for backing up when punching.
It is a serious skill to have and doing it now will not allow it to become critical path on the project plan.

One of the the 39
Other end of the spectrum here. We are most likely at the very end of the Osh orders as the commitment for a 14A kit was completed on Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to receiving the kit, but not in a rush just this moment as my work area needs a purge and clean up before the kit arrives, so I need the slight delay. ...off to go clean and purge I go!

Glad to hear that yours has arrived. I also ordered Monday morning, and have been assigned 140658. I have not yet been notified of shipment. I'll post here when I hear something.

I ordered Wednesday
And I'm 140665. I was told my wire transfer went through last Monday, and my order is now in Crating. They did inform me that there were a lot of orders from the show and they were working through them as quickly as they could.

Wow - the RV-14/14A community is growing fast. When I started my build 3 years ago there were only a handful flying. One phenomenon that -14 builders are seeing now is backlogs for engines, avionics (pre-built panels anyway), interiors etc. I'm guessing the backlog of QB wings and fuses will get bigger too.
If I were starting today I'd plan on ordering everything way farther in advance than has been the norm. I got lucky on everything - my engine was ready before I was and panel was right on time.
