Description: Finding the Envelope in the RV-14. Initial Flight Testing; Hour 10+ Proudly associated with ForeFlight: foreflight.com/flightchops Visit FlightChops.com for behind the scenes and GiveAways! In this episode of Flight Chops, we are pushing the new Flight Chops Van’s Aircraft RV-14 through the paces of final Flight Testing while also being mindful of the ongoing break-in of the Lycoming Thunderbolt engine. Around hour 10, we’re preparing to test and document the flight envelope of the RV-14 which consists of a controlled climb at max gross weight and assessing stall characteristics.

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 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. Visit FlightChops.com for behind-the-scenes content, epic giveaways and to search episodes by aircraft type!
