N14VE: RV-14 Builders

We are Building a Vans Aircraft RV-14A Together.  Join Ken & Melissa VeArd   Join us as we build our first airplane together, a Vans Aircraft RV-14A.     During Melissa's first Visit to EAA Airventure Oshkosh in 2021, she decided that we should build an RV, so we came home and began ordering our kits.   Several months into the project, we have made a lot of progress.

This channel documents our progress and our thoughts as we progress through the build.  Why did we choose Option A over Option B?  What Engine will we go with, what breaks will we go with and more.

Ken has been a General Aviation Pilot since 1997 and holds an FAA Private Pilot SEL, MEL with Instrument Rating.   He has logged 1,500+ hours of Flight Time.

Melissa started her Flight Training in 2021 and is working on earning her SEL Private Pilot's License.
