I've reached the point in the Rudder build that requires parts to be riveted together. So, in preparation of the riveting process, I began to Alumiprep and Alodine the parts this evening. I did the smaller parts in medium sized bins as described in previous posts and I will finish up the larger parts with the foam brush tomorrow. Once all the parts have had their Alumiprep and Alodine treatments, they will be epoxy primed with Akzo.
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.
