It has been a long time since the last update.
The short update here is that not much building has occurred over the last several months. I am making a big step tomorrow however. I am moving the wings out of my garage into another one that I have access to in order to make room for the start of the tail section. I have in the past built portions of the RV-9 tail so I do know that this will move along a lot quicker than the wings did. Honestly there is a lot of monotony with the wings, and if I had it to do all over again I would consider a quick build for this portion.
Because of the advice of a fellow builder I chose not to finish the wingtips and wait until the aircraft is assembled to do that. I did attach one of them before making this decision. He said that when the wings are on the aircraft things tend to line up in a different fashion.
I have been also looking a lot at costs as well, as now that there are around 13 RV-14 completions it is interesting to see where people end up. The goal here is to have a safe aircraft, IFR equipped without replicating a jet fighter cockpit or worse. I will come up around that neighborhood though ;)
Update 10/10/2016:
Move has been completed to the new garage/storage for the wings. While I still stick to my opinion that the wings can be monotonous at times, it gives me a great feeling of pride to look at them mostly completed sitting there in the new space. And as a bonus for better or worse, I know exactly how they were put together.
