JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Aft Fuselage (Part 48)

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.

Below is an excerpt from the plans dealing with the attachment holes for the Vertical Stabilizer. Since I am building the tailwheel model, there are five bolts that hold the Vetical Stabilizer to the Aft Fuselage assembly. There are two #12 holes at the top and three 1/4” holes in the bottom.
