For all of you RV14 builders, just wanted you to know that Steve and I have been working on the wing tubes for the RV14. We have been for quite a while now, but havent released anything--yet, and for a couple of reasons. WE make ours on a CNC bender based on Van's templates from 5052O tubing. One of the reasons we havent released them is we havent found enough beta testers where we can send the tubes for test fit, get them back, send them to another for verification fit. Builder that purchase our cabin fuel tubes arent ready to attach the wings, so there is a pretty long time lapse.
Even also found that on one set it fit perfectly on one plane, and not on the other, which is still a mystery. But as more of you are ready to attach the wings, we'll be able to get then completed. (Easier if we had a 14 in the shop.)
In the meantime, we had a client that wanted teflon hose. So I made a couple for test purposes, and they worked well.
