Hi All,
I completed an RV12 last year (a five month build beginning with a Synergy Air quick built kit). The kit and instructions were terrific, and the plane is a joy to fly. Unfortunately, I really miss the building process and am considering starting an RV14A QB. I was wondering if anyone has experience with both kits, and can compare them (quality, completeness, flying characteristics, etc.) beyond a comparison of the specs.
Thanks!
Barry
 
A buddy of mine is building a 12, the 14 is more complex and will take longer as just about everything is regular rivets, very few pop rivets.

I'm spending 20-30 hours per week (with help) and he's spending about 10-15 hours per week (by himself) and we're about at the same place.

But the 14 is a more capable and larger airplane, worth the effort, and it is fun to build.

Wish you lived here in our neck of the woods Barry. We could always use another experienced mentor for our Eagle's Nest RV-12 Student Built Project. Can never have too many mentors!
 
Or if you really like to build, might I recommend an RV-3B? There's plenty of good building fun in that kit.
