Default RV-14 taildragger

I'm pretty keen on this new one,although I have to get my 6 finished first, thing is I haven't seen a pic of a taildragger 14, not even a drawing, it would be a shame if they decided against it, any one got info on it?.

I have seen nothing to indicate Van's is thinking about NOT offering a tailwheel version. They said they will offer one and even have a spot for the RV-14 drawings to the left of the existing RV-14A drawings on their website. All that should be ready for you when you're done with your 6, but I'm certainly not a spokesperson for Van's.

There WILL be a taildragger RV14 option. I believe the beta tester is doing the prototype of it now.

If they don't follow through, I'll be selling my wings.

Keep building on those wings... There will be a taildragger (RV-14)

There is also a 3-view of the Taildragger RV-14 in the newest iteration of the RV-ALL drawing available here:

So you can grab it and start working on your paint scheme right now!

There will be a TW version.
Go to Van's website under "Aircraft" it shows "RV-14/14A"

I've been lurking VAF trying to get on a deal maybe for a RV8, but after recent look-see's and gut wrenching soul searching, I'm having dreams of building my own. The buying experience just isn't cutting it....

I look forward to seeing a 14/A finished and get an up close and personal look, and especially an RV14 conventional gear. I'll bet it's going to look like a super sized RV7.

Default Taildragger

After much thought, I changed my order last week from a trigear to a taildragger. The tail kit ships on 10/28. I'm curious as to how may of you are going taildragger vs. tri-gear. My guess is there will be far more tri-gear 14s than taildraggers.
