Might be a stupid question given what you posted, but this includes Rv-14 transition training? I'll need it within a few months!

Although I don’t have any time in the 14, it is virtually identical in flying characteristics to the 10, mostly the same V speeds.
The 14 is probably a bit lighter on the controls.

You can call me if you like to discuss it

A key question is going to be whether or not your RV experience is going to be acceptable to a prospective trainee's insurance company. Some are quite picky and may not agree that a -14 equals a -10. Same would likely hold true for taildraggers vs tricycle gear.

14A vs 10 almost every insurance carrier my agent contacted said no issues for transition training. Both rated at 200+ hp so hi-performance rating not an issue. In fact, a Vans recognized transition trainer in Dallas Tx used his 10 to sign off on my 14A training. (And documented in my logbook) He did add 75 lbs. of ballast in his 10 to mimic the CG point of a 14A. Eventually started flying my new 10 and can't tell the difference regardless of flight envelope.

I have had insurance companies in the past say Ok due to my experience in RV make, but yes it can be hit or miss.
Now tail wheel is a whole different story, I do not do tail wheel, and if I did, they would ask for time in type
