Hello fellow VAFers,
The stars are aligned, the tooling is ready, my workspace is secured, the spouse is on board and my empennage has been ordered (RV-14)!!
It feels weird because I'm reaching out and grabbing a dream and making it mine. I've never been bale to do this before.
Anyways I have a crazy idea that I wanted to run by my fellow builders here:
I've searched for this and either I can't search a forum for **** or no one has thought of this (publicly):
Since the wings are supposedly the same, could you put the wings of an RV-10 on an RV-14?
Considerations for discussion (assuming they fit no problem and the flight characteristic changes don't go to lift off then crash immediately):
- structural integrity
- yawing tendencies
- Lower cruise speed
- Lower stall speed
- More fuel
- higher gross weight
- lower wing loading (turbulence)
- No aerobatics??
Thoughts?
