In this episode of Flight Chops, I'm doing my best to share what I've learned operating the airplane for 200 hours. I'm also answering a bunch of the key questions such as what did things cost, what do we like, what did we modify, what do I wish I knew, what snags have there been, etc...

The costs, a thorough review of the RV-14, and detailed breakdown of components.

Flight Chops Disclaimer

I am a “weekend warrior” private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience – I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve…. Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.

Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
