Are they getting delivered tomorrow? Great! When mine came, I used a couple of those furniture dollys from HF ($12) to roll the crates around. If you have another person or two, you can just carry them around. Have fun.

I think he means that Vans is releasing the wing kit for the 14 tomorrow.

I received two emails this morning. One from Barbara at 11.41 am ES and another at 12.16 ES from Cynthia informing about the wing kit availability. I am shocked and excited by the lower price. Was expecting $9000+....This new pricing is going to make the decision between the RV7A and RV14A a lot easier.

Got it. When I was at Vans last month I was shown a whole stack of wing and other 14 parts. I can't wait to see the how the 14 kits will go together.

(BUYING IT

We expect RV-14 wing kits (which will work for either tailwheel or nosewheel versions) to become available in the autumn of 2012. These will include everything necessary for a complete set of wings: fuel tanks, control surfaces, completelyassembled spars, molded wingtips, etc. The price is yet to be determined, but a preliminary estimate is around $9000.00.)



$7440 is quite a ways off from $9000 and only $590 more than the current RV7A wing kit price. I feel the 14 is going to be a big hit.

Lightbulb Look deep into my crystal ball!

After being on the leading edge of the first wave of RV 12 kits my guess of the time line would be as follows.
First as stated they are now taking orders for the wing kits. They will probably begin shipping them in late December or Early January?
Second, the tail kit will be next probably released in the Spring, April or May ish.
Third by late Summer early Fall the fuselage kit will be released.
Forth, December or January the finish kit will be released.
Fifth, Spring 2014 the Avionics kit will be released for those who want to use Vans and not something else.
Sixth, Summer 2014 the firewall forward kit gets released for those who again go with the standard Vans engine.
Seventh by the end of 2014 those really fast builders will have a few RV 14s flyings.
Remember you heard it here first from the all knowing all seeing RV Genie.
