Wickenburg, Arizona, United States
I'm building an RV-14A kit airplane purchased from Van's Aircraft. This website documents construction to show I've built in accordance with FAA's 51% rule. When finished it will be inspected by the FAA or designated representatives, and a special airworthiness certificate will be issued under the Experimental category.
