JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 3)

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, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 3)

In Part 2, the two Aileron Gap Fairings and two Flap Gap Fairings were clecoed into place on the Left and Right Wings. During this session, I started installing the required rivets and decided to start with the Right Wing.

The last video below shows the completed rivet installation on the Right Wing Aileron and Flap Gap Fairings. The Gap Fairings are installed to the Wings using four different sized rivets:

-AN426AD3-3.6

-AN426AD4-8

-AN470AD4-4

-AN470AD4-5
