A side-by-side two seater, the RA-14 Loisirs was mainly intended for construction by amateur builders and aero clubs, using Adam-supplied parts and components. The RA-14 was also delivered complete.

The RA-14 had a fabric covered fuselage and wings and was built in several variants, with engines in the 65-90 hp power range. The type was popular in the immediate post-war years and several dozens were built.
