The RV-14 was out in the sun for the first time on Saturday!
We had a "mostly successful" first engine start! Stay tuned to the build vlog for that episode soon.
Meantime, the latest episode shares some good "old school IFR" learning moments while we work a problem - how would you have dealt with what we ran into on this one:

Don’t forget your sunglasses that is REFLECTIVE beauty 😎. I forgot mine ONE TIME. Never again. It was pink hello kitty sunglasses or nothing. Needless to say. I chose the lesser of two evils, pics were taken, posts were made. Me doing my exterior preflight looking like a 5 yo girl

Still hanging in there for the panel episode...The great reveal recounting the well understood builder's anguish of instrument placement (Especially that autopilot mode select unit. Gimme gimme reasons!)
