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.

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 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.
