JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Vertical Stabilizer (Part 2)

This blog was created to memorialize the building process of my Van's Aircraft RV-14 and to satisfy the requirements for certification in the Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft category. It will also serve as a central location for ME to reference in the future on processes and techniques I used during the build. Additionally, it will allow my family, friends, and other interested builders the opportunity to follow along during my build…..and might be helpful to someone along the way.

Empennage, Vertical Stabilizer (Part 2)

I only worked on the Vertical Stabilizer for about half an hour tonight. I removed the bottom portion of the Front Spar below the Front Spar Doubler. I used a cut-off wheel on my dremel tool to remove the larger section and then a vixen file for the final trimming and alignment.
