JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Outboard Leading Edge (Part 27)

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 27)

During today’s session, we also riveted the J-Stiffeners in both Outboard Leading Edges. Each J-Stiffener received 62 rivets. Below is a picture of the Left Outboard Leading Edge with the J-Stiffener riveted into place (horizontal row across the top).

This is the inside of the same Leading Edge and you can also see the J-Stiffener riveted into place. As I mentioned in a previous post, the portion of the J-Stiffner in the Landing Light was painted flat black....the remainder of the J-Stiffener is in Akzo green.
