The finishing kit was HUGE, inventoried and ready to go. (Decided to do all the wiring and avionics install before I start the finishing kit). Steve did once again remind me that Johnathon’s and his incredible and talented team will use there special skills on my fiberglass and aluminum on my RV14A Build. It will transform into a beautiful amazing aircraft! All I need to do now is get to building! Ken and Melissa, Thank you for sharing N14VE build with us all.
Thank you for all the advice and motivation you give us. I enjoy seeing the progress you are making on your build.
Awesome!! I was just at the Vans Factory in Aurora, OR last week and got a tour. Such a cool operation. Much bigger than I thought it would be.
Did you get any intel on when we might get our Engines while there?
@@N14VE The guy who gave me the tour did say they're out quite a bit but getting better. Crossing fingers for you!
Glad you got your Finish kit have been waiting for mine for a long time!
Do you know when you'll get yours? We waited over 18 months for us. So it was a long wait.
@@N14VE I don’t know, ordered Aug of 2022.
Ay-ler-on! Say it ten times.
Lol... I will always mess this one up. It is one of my words that I just can't get right.
@@N14VE All in good fun! Congrats on the finishing kit! Picking up my tail kit on Thursday.
Keep Millie in the vids! She’s a doll.
@@umatgreyhound no worries. I did take the comment as in good fun. Melissa teases me about it as well. Millie is the star of the show now for sure. Can’t wait until she is able to actually put her hands on the build.
If Amelia keeps on growing, you just might have to order an RV-10 soon
If the RV-10 would fly upside down (legally), we would consider it. We might have to keep a Spare Bonanza around for the family.
Nice guys! My motor and finish kit is due mid April.
I’m a long way from needing it though and have to find a place to store it.
I’m trying to build mine in a single car garage. The struggle is real!
I’d double check on the timeline from Lycoming. People who ordered 2 years ago will be lucky to get their engine by April.
@@N14VE yes I was lucky. I purchased the kit from a couple who started the empennage but couldn’t continue on with the build due to exigent circumstances. So I was very fortunate enough to be able to acquire it as a package deal. Their order was placed sometime ago.
miss milli is so big.... wow that was a big box
No kidding (on both). Amelia just keeps growing way too fast.
Got my finish kit one year ago/still don’t have bag 3215-1 . If you have that bag it is supposed to be mine. You cannot put your gear on without bag 3215-1. If you have that bag I will get you my shipping address so you can send it to me!!
It looks like just yesterday they got stock and are sending them out. Make sure you call in and check to make sure you get yours.
