A few questions:
1) Is the aft fuselage build part of the empennage kit?
2) What is commonly mounted within the empennage structures (GPS antenna, elevator trim, ELT, etc.)?
3) Does a wiring harness from Van's customarily accompany the empennage kit?
You can also find the digital plans here if you don't want to wait on the usb stick https://www.vansaircraft.com/servic...ns/?aircraft=rv-14&doctype=all&sort=undefined
I must be retarded. I spent the day on that site updating my plans for my tail kit (Delievered in 2013) and was looking for a full printout of the plans and couldn't find them. Gave up and ordered the USB stick. Hope it works with MAC.
I think I just want to reprint the whole plans (I got so many changes)
Cheers
Andy

I really don't know why Vans can't just make it an instant digital download when you buy them, but I'm an IT guy learning airplane stuff. I'm sure it's just as frustrating being airplane guys trying to do IT stuff.
Dennis,
I am in Saginaw and just completed an RV-14A based at KIKW. Send me a PM if you have any questions or want to see my build. I am currently in phase I and have about 10 hours flying time so far.

The elevator trim is installed in the elevator - no reason to wait. The tail light is installed into the fiberglas fairing at the bottom of the rudder. You could wait to install it, if you plan to wait and complete all of your fiberglas later.
