JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Top Wing Skins (Part 15)

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.

Wings, Top Wing Skins (Part 15)

Tonight, I completed all the dimpling of the #40 holes in the Top Inboard and Top Outboard Wing Skins. I used my hand squeezer with a 3” yoke to dimple the holes I could reach. Then, for the remaining holes, I used the DRDT-2.

Here is the Top Inboard Wing Skin after being dimpled by the DRDT-2.....

.....and the Top Outboard Wing Skin.

And of course, the two Skins with all the #40 holes dimpled.
