RV-14A Pre-Buy / Purchase Assistance

I'm New Here
Hello RV-14 brain trust

Vancouver, Canada-based pilot here currently evaluating a potential RV-14A purchase in upstate New York and hoping to connect with someone who may be willing to help with the diligence process.

The aircraft is a 2022 builder-owned RV-14A with an IO-390 EXP119, dual G3X, IFR-equipped, approximately 200 hours total time. From my conversations so far, the seller appears to be an experienced and detail-oriented builder, but he’s an older gentleman and not especially digital, so part of the challenge here is simply organizing/reviewing records and evaluating everything properly from a distance before I travel out from Canada.

As many of you know, buying an experimental remotely is fundamentally a workmanship and systems diligence exercise. I’m hoping to find someone who:
  • knows RVs well
  • has experience evaluating build quality/workmanship
  • is comfortable reviewing logs/build documentation
  • may be open to assisting with an on-site inspection/pre-buy in the northeast US if things continue progressing

Happy to compensate appropriately for serious help from the right person.

And if this airplane or builder happens to sound familiar to anyone, feel free to DM me privately as well.

Thanks!
