Thanks to Matt for setting up an RV-14 email list. Those of you

on this list (maybe very few at this point) who know me, know

that I prefer email based lists...the messages pop into

your inbox where you can address them quickly.  It makes for

a speedy way to pass along info.



I'm builder 140032, and got my kit 12/21/2012.  So far I'm done

with section 11 and 1/2 way through 12 almost.  I find that the

RV-14 plans in some cases so far, are perhaps a little more

vague than the RV-10, although the kit itself has some nice

little improvements.  In the section on countersinking the spar

in section 11, they do show the max depth and width of the

countersinks you create, but, they don't go into detail as to

what the ultimate goal of the countersunk hole will be.  In the

-10 plans they have you test dimple a scrap of aluminum so that

you get the depth to a workable depth for assembly later.

Anyway, it does take a little interpreting and reading ahead

if you're a 1st time builder.  I have a website regarding

my RV-10 at http://www.MyRV10.com, and although I still update

it, it won't be changing drastically in the future.  I also

have one set up for the RV-14 at http://www.MyRV14.com that

I will use to document the build, but I will not be spending

nearly the time writing as I did on the other plane.  I probably

have as much time into writing as building on that kit.



I did have one plans correction I found, and Van's has already

changed it on their plans, but it somehow didn't make it into

my plans when they shipped just a few weeks ago.  On page 11-03

the "AFT / UP / Inboard" label was wrong in 2 diagrams, but

they have it changed now to "FWD / UP / Inboard", so they were

already on it.  I'm sure we'll find more changes as we go

through the build.



I just wanted to make a quick introduction and let anyone

else who signed on the list know that I'll be monitoring

the list, so email here when you run into questions or issues.

Hi Tim, can't wait to see your progress.



Anyone else wish there was a 540 option?
