RV-14 demo
Has anyone been for a demo ride in the RV-14 or is Van's not offering them in the 14 yet?
Thanks Ron

...yet they don't have any kit purchase information for the -14, yet. I was really hoping that stuff would show up in the new site.

Yes they do!
I realize this is an old post, but I want to share my experience. Both my wife and I visited the factory in early Oct12 and both got a ride! I have been planning a RV7A build, but have now decided to build the 14! Awesome aircraft! I flew for about 10 minutes doing power on and off stalls, and slow fight. The visibility and handling were fantastic!

Is the visibility in the 14 any better than in a 7 or 9? If so, why?

Yes, definitely - mostly because the longerons are lower relative to the seats, but the shape of the canopy seems to make it better as well.
