JUST a funt thought here, wanting to see what others think. I am an out of practice aero engineer...so I remember just enough to get me in trouble.

What do you all think of this:

RV-14 with -10 wings?

Why? Well, why not, but for the longer span for improved range for a cross country, lower wing loading (I am not thinking of increasing the gross weight.

Obviously you would lose the Acro capability, like a larger -9, sorta.

I am not at all considering, or advocating this, just want to know what others think. Keep the mind busy.

Off the bat, my first two concerns would be pitch stability/authority and bending moment through the wing center section.
