![]() Probably the most useful information on this page is depicted in the pie chart below, which illustrates the relative build times of the various sections. So do not think because we have logged over 4000 hours building G-STRV that it will take you the same … lots of people have built their aeroplane in a lot less time! This was the first metal work I have been involved with, and everything was completed slowly and carefully … especially at the beginning until experience was gained. And most importantly, the builder’s experience, ability and attitude.All electrical/avionic wiring was completed by myself, which involved lots of research and planning! Many builders opt to purchase a completed panel with avionics ready wired, again saving lots of time.Vertical Power VPX Pro and PPS electrical system.Extra external lighting … AeroLED VX’s on the wingtips, AeroLED Anti-Col.Beringer 6.00×6″ wheels, brakes and parking brake.G-STRV has the following changes/additions: Changes from the original kit all take extra time.All parts in G-STRV have been primed, with anti-corrosion jointing compound applied to all overlapping surfaces.Come and check out the program and progress. A “Quick Build” kit would save considerable time, since the forward fuselage, wings, ailerons and flaps are all supplied ready built. Vans RV-12 Now that the first RV-10 is done and flying along with enjoying the heck out of it, I am now going through build withdrawals so decided to start a new program to build another plane, the Vans RV-12. ![]() G-STRV was a “Slow build kit”, in other words all parts needed to be prepared and constructed.Many things will affect how long it takes to build a Vans RV14, such as: Just over 4000 hrs of work over 4 years and 9 months produced G-STRV. Work started in October 2017 and finished in July 2022, when the maiden flight took place.Īlthough finished, there will no doubt be aspects to tweak as the engine and plane beds down during the initial flying. The construction of Vans RV14 G-STRV is now complete.
