Van's RV-7 and RV-14 cockpit dimensions are missing a few numbers. See Picture link:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZnZ8JtfbBG47RC7M8 (Not to scale. RV-14 missing head room dimension; RV-7 missing baggage compartment depth)


Seat height to canopy RV-7 shows 41 inch but nothing for RV-14. What is the increase in head room.

The baggage compartment in RV-14 is deeper showing 36.5" deep but nothing for RV-7. Both are 12 cu-ft.

The width shows RV-14 is 3" wider than the RV-7.

The leg room overlaps but the RV-14 is about 2" longer.

Curious who has flown both RV6/7/9 and RV14 what the difference is in cockpit.

I’ve owned a -7 and have flown in a 14. I was about to start construction on my second -7 when I was offered the flight in a -14. After that one flight, I was sold. I immediately put my -7 QB kit up for sale and order a -14 QB kit. I’m not sure of the various demential differences between the two, but I can tell you first hand that after trying one on for size that the difference in overall room and comfort is like night and day.
