The folks at the Van's both said they are trying to work with Lycoming to allow people to go ahead and order an engine for the RV-14.

I just spoke with "Bruce" at Van's and he said that I would still be eligible to buy an engine at their pricing even though I bought my wings already complete from another builder. ( Since it is now registered to me, I will buy the remaining kits and will be the one to complete the project)

That means they can only buy engines for an aircraft they produce (this protects Lyc. dealers). An aircraft constitutes a complete kit. Once you have purchased a complete kit, you can purchase a new engine at an OEM price that will be cheaper than any dealer will sell it for.

According to the above, you also have to buy the f/w forward kit as well? What if you wanted to source those parts elsewhere?

I know you have to buy at least one kit section, I'm not sure if you have to buy the rest. I just told him my situation and said it wasn't a problem

Good question...I'm prepared to buy/order an engine this year at Oshkosh, but I'm not sure I want the whole firewall forward package. Maybe Scott can clarify what qualifies as a "complete kit"?

It shouldn't be an issue. I didn't order a complete firewall forward kit. I removed about half the components.

Van's did indeed allow the RV-14 builders to purchase the IO-390 without the finishing kits purchased (they are not available yet) at the Sun n Fun prices this year. Mine is scheduled for July 2nd shipping. So I do not think deleting a few items later will matter.

Just talked with Sterling at Van's on another topic, and asked the complete kit question. "Complete" = tail, wings, fuse and finish kits.

We will see shortly, with that said I was referring to the RV-14 ONLY. It was an exception to their policy with Lycoming.

Ron, what price did Vans give you on the IO-390? I have wing and empennage kits showing up next week and have a potential sale on my other airplane, so I am thinking of buying an engine now before the prices go back up to what they used to be.
