Lets face it folks, the GA world isn't exactly bustling with activity. It is my opinion that if it where not for "amatuer-built" aircraft, GA may be hanging on by a "thread". But consider this. A roomy, efficient, 2-place, easier to construct aircraft, backed by an orginization (such as Vans Aircraft) that is 2nd to none in product quality and support, with a resale value like no other in the "homebuilt" world, such as an RV-14A. And what makes this RV-14A an "economy" airplane you ask? How about a 200-210 H.P. engine that burns 91 octane auto fuel (fuel a person can afford) with dual electronic ignition sytems (forget the outrageous cost and maintenance requirements of magnetos), and a proven "carburetor style" fuel delivery system. Add to that a metal "fixed pitch" prop, such as a Sensenich 76E or 80B series (at an estimated $3500.00 price tag, a savings of more than $5000.00 over a constant speed prop/governor set-up), and a much lower level of maintenance to boot. Build an awsome VFR day/night aircraft that is comfortable, reliable, easy to maintain, and cost effective to operate.
