JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 32)

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, Aft Fuselage (Part 32)

I completed the Alumiprep, Alodine, and Priming work on the F-01473-L & -R Side Skins and F-01418B-L Longeron. The Left Side Skin is hanging up to dry after Alumiprep and Alodine.

This is the same Side Skin after priming with Akzo.

Below is the Right Side Skin after priming.

Finally, here is the Left Longeron after getting Akzo primer.
