JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 9)

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 9)

Tonight, I prepare the Right Wing’s Outboard Leading Edge in the same manner as I did in Parts 6 and 7 for the Left Outboard Leading Edge. The J-Stiffener was Match-Drilled to the Skins and the final hole in the Wing Ribs were also Match-Drilled to the Skins.

Both Outboard Leading Edges have been disassembled and I will start the process of deburring all the holes I drilled during the last several sessions. The Left and Right Outboard Leading Edge Skins will be dimpled in the next few sessions.
