JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 44)

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 44)

I continued setting rivets in the Side Skins.....damn there are a lot of rivets!!!! With the exception of a few rivets I’ll need some help with, the three rows of rivets have been installed. The last remaining row in the very bottom that attaches the Side Skin to the Bottom Skin.

Here is a shot of the inside of the Right Side Skin showing some completed rivet locations.

Many more rivets to go!
