First flight today

C-GLEP flew flawlessly today with 1.75 hrs. on the hobbs. Pictures to follow soon. Need to go out and get another hr. on it today.
 
Thanks Guys, I cannot get over how well it flies right out of the box. I bitched at Van's plenty but they sure know how to make a plane that flies great. other pilots were complaining that it was quite turbulent today in the afternoon heat but this thing just flies right thru it . I would not have enjoyed being out flying my SuperCub this afternoon (morning first flight would have been fine), but never minded the turbulence at all in the RV-14.
Any of the flying RV-14/RV-14A's land in Canada yet or am I the first RV-14 taking off and landing in Canada? Just curious.
 
Congratulations

Looks Great!
Good to see all that deburring eventually pays off:)
Thanks for the motivation!
Enjoy
 
Don't worry Ron. RV-18A is coming soon. It's a lot of work building but you will be able to transport all your wharf employees :D

By the time the RV-18A arrives I will not have any wharf employees to transport. Counting down already.
 
Thanks again guys. I will not be making it to Stanley this year, "missed it by that much", but will probably make next. 7.4 hrs. so far and all is well.
Al , keep pounding rivets and we will be able to venture off together.

RV-14

Ok Ron. Maybe will see you in Stanley next year in May for the breakfast Fly-in. Looking forward to seeing the 14 in person. Do you plan on keeping this one?

I planned on keeping the RV-10 but had partners that had other plans. No partners in this one, so yes.
