I was told by a Hartzell rep. that they would rather we not add any grease at all rather than add more than the instructions say. You might want to check with them.

The RV-14 plans have you use a ratchet strap to pull the wing tip down into the wing at the leading edge. Works well and the wing tips are the same tip supplied with the RV-10. I had no problem doing ...

Moral of the story, move to Nova Scotia. You will always need to wear at least a T-shirt here.

I used Pro seal on the RV-10 and have a fresh unopened can in the freezer. I also have purchased the 3M tape Van's recommends now. Pro seal was no big deal and I have not ruled out using it. I would t ...

On the RV-14, Van's now uses a 3M double sided tape rather than Proseal and the RV-14 wing is just an RV-10 wing shortened basically.

I do not remember that being a requirement or even being discussed. I think we have Hooker harnesses in ours, but I don't know if they are TSO'd.

The pilot posted on VAF, on some of his experiences during this accident.

Removed the fairing today and all is good. All steps on page 10-22 were completed. I don't recall where we would have obtained the instructions at the time or we might just have thought it was one of ...

The only thing about flying with the door open is loss of cooling. My original opened twice in flight and it just sat there with no movement. I landed right away. The alum. cover I made now stays put.

Thanks Kelly
We made four copies of the entire manual so each partner would have a copy at home for study and reference. We used the original copy for the build at the hangar. In my copy page 10-22 i ...

Could you send me page 10-22 also as it's missing in my manual also. My e-mail address is ronbelliveau at eastlink dot ca.
Thanks Ron

I ended up spending a lot of time bending a (I think it was.090") thick piece of alum. the shape of the cowl and now have a great oil door. I had to stiffen it also.

By utilizing used caulk tubes, are we not concerned about contamination and what it might do to proseal cure?

Sean, I'm at 100'.

My strip is 2200' and I'm off in less than half at gross. If it's soft and wet I will use half.

I do believe that 31Q was for the optional throttle quadrant mount.If you look at pn/F-1083 on page 31-9 you'll see that it's mounted different. I don't remember but it might also be a different part ...

I bet we are getting excited now!! Looks great.

Hey Tim
I was planning to install a rudder trim on the 14 just like I did on the 10, til I read your previous post. I hadn't thought of the aerobatic part. I will cancel that thought , Thanks Ron

Just received two kits from Van's today, $88 for a set of four and rivets.
