JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 20)

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, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 20)

The 12 Outboard Leading Edge Ribs were treated with Alumiprep and Alodine during today’s work session. The six Ribs on the left are for the Left Outboard Leading Edge and the six on the right are for the Right Outboard Leading Edge. I used the same dipping method as I have for all the Ribs up to this point and they are now hanging up to dry overnight.

I will begin Akzo priming during the next session.
