Unknown (kit)
Van's RVs are the most successful kit aircraft family in history, and the RV-14 is the roomy, modern one — built in garages, hangars, and basements by ordinary people who end up with a 200-horsepower sport plane that outruns factory aircraft costing multiples more.
Fun fact
More than 11,000 Van's RV kits have been completed and flown — more than most certified aircraft ever produced.
How to spot one
Low-wing two-seater with a big bubble canopy and squared wingtips. Looks like an RV-7 that's been to the gym — taller canopy, wider stance.
Crews call it
The Fourteen
Sounds like
A crisp four-cylinder Lycoming with the eager note RV pilots call 'the grin machine'
