Tom and I just wanted to send a quick update.
Beta test fitting of this package is going great. So far, we have completed 3 aircraft. 2 people opted to have the complete package, and one is just doing the fuel lines for now. We have also tested both the A model and the tailwheel version, so we have the dimensions for both of these.
We are getting ready to work with a 4th and final beta tester. The RV-14 pedals can be moved forward and aft, and both of our initial beta testers have theirs moved all the way aft at the moment. We are working with a 4th aircraft to make slight changes to 2 hose lengths to be able to make the F14116A-L and A-R customizable based on the pedal position you choose. Yes, I know it is nit picky. But for those of you that know Tom and I, you know that we have a sometimes obsessive attention to detail.
So, the good news is that the package is all but done. As far as pricing goes, we are still working on it. However, preliminary numbers are as follows:
1. The RV-14A kit will be $749.95 for a complete set of hoses AND AN fittings required to put it together. This will include a total of 6 coated teflon brake hoses, 1 braided flex fuel hose, and 3 rigid tube fuel lines. In addition, it will include about $90-100 of AN fittings that are required to make the package work. If you already have the fittings, we will also offer the kit without them at a discounted rate.
2. The tailwheel version of this package will be $50 less due to the shorter lines.
3. We will also offer a fuel only package, which will be $229.95. It will include the three rigid tubes and the flex hose from the pump to the firewall.
This package will be built to order as it utilizes a fair amount of fittings and raw materials, and with our ever growing line up of products, we don't keep package on the shelf anymore so we don't run into fitting shortages.
However, the lead time on these packages will be between 1 and 2 weeks from order placement to shipment.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact me at
[email protected], or to contact Tom at

We will make an official announcement when they are available for sale. In addition, we are working on a simplified installation manual that will include some general pictures and kit information.
Have a great weekend, and happy building
Steve and Tom
