This 2022 Van’s RV-14 Is a Homebuilt, Cross-Country ‘AircraftForSale’ Top Pick

Today’s Top Pick is a 2022 Vans RV-14.

When the first Van’s RV-14s reached the market about a decade ago, some fans of the company’s long line of aircraft wondered what made this side-by-side two-seater different from others in its fleet such as the RV-7. The two do appear similar, at least to the untrained eye. Closer inspection reveals that the RV-14 is larger, with a more powerful engine and more baggage space.

For people who like to draw comparisons between aircraft and cars, one might call the RV-7 a classic, compact, two-seat sports car while the RV-14 is more of a GT, or grand touring machine. Indeed, the larger aircraft’s wing is designed to operate efficiently on longer cross-country trips. While not all customers had noticed, Van’s felt there was a gap to be filled in the fleet somewhere between the RV-7 and the large, four-seat RV-10. Today the many pilots flying RV-14 appear to agree.    

This recently built RV-14 has an airworthiness date of March 22, 2022, and has logged 65 hours on the airframe, its Lycoming YIO-390-EXP76 engine, and  Hartzell two-blade, constant-speed propeller. The aircraft has a 50-gallon usable-fuel system.

Its panel includes a Garmin G3X IFR avionics suite with dual 10-inch screens, GMC 507 autopilot, GMA 245R remote audio panel, GNX 375 IFR navigator with ADS-B In and Out transponder.

Pilots seeking a high-performance, homebuilt aircraft with decades of development and market experience behind it should consider this 2022 Van’s RV-14, which is available for $298,000 on AircraftForSale.
