I plan to order my first RV kit next month and am planning an RV14A. Been real close between the nosegear/taildragger.
I need some help deciding on whether to start the tail or the wings first and have sent Vans an email for their opinion.
Here are my thoughts:
Tail Kit
1. Easier to build??;
2. Easier to store (Man, I have just the spot for it);
3. Cheaper to start;
4. Kit has been out less time so maybe more errors in the plans and less people from whom to ask advice;and
5. Would be committed to the nose gear model.
Wing Kit
1. Harder, more time consuming to build??;
2. More difficult to store;
3. Pricier to start;
4. Kit has been out longer so better vetted plans and more advice available;and
3. Could still change my mind regarding gear configuration.
Off to folks who have both kits or knowledge for comment.......... please.
