Thanks!
Yeah the RV-9 project languished with life events taking us through detours. I still think about finishing the nine, but after hitting a birthday milestone I'm starting to think of LSA and the RV-12. The completeness of the kit and instructions, along with pull rivets adds alot to the pull of the 12 as well.
I'll probably put in the order for the fastner kit this weekend just so I can feel like I'm nailed down and can start organizing. I'll order the emp in the next month or so and then get really friendly with NAFCO. Of course I'll shoot myself if the RV-14 turns out to be something along the lines of a 2+2 stretched 9, or high winger...

I guess that would mean another project down the road
The bottom line for me is that no matter what model you just can't beat a Van's kit.
