JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Horizontal Stabilizer (Part 8)

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, Horizontal Stabilizer (Part 8)

I only spent a couple of hours working on the plane today. I Alumipred and Alodined the Front Spar, the two Spar Caps, and the Rear Spar assembly. I did this outside, so I did not film the process. This is a picture of the Front Spar, Rear Spar, Spar Doubler, and Spar Caps after being prepared. I'm going to prime these parts tomorrow and start the assembly/riveting process.
