Vans RV 14 Build Series - Intro, Sling vs Vans

We are beginning a series for our RV-14 builder assist. During the series, we will discuss the differences between the building processes for the RV and Sling. We think both airplanes are great, but how do their construction, build process, manuals, etc compare? Stay tuned and find out.
Learn more about our Builder Assist Program for the Sling and Vans at CustomAircraftBuilders.com.

Apparently, not all of us are aware of Vans' struggles right now. What was that referring to?

[@gmonnig]

Bankruptcy, lazer cut parts that are cracking when riveted (Van’s advertises cnc punched holes not lazer cut), and bad primer on Quick build kits that caused corrosion...

Whoa! Thanks for sharing.

Van's is taking the issues seriously and are making corrections and working closely with their builders.

RV14 is acrobatic and much faster.
I fly a sling TSI and it’s not fast or acrobatic. That’s it in a nutshell.
