JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Fuel Tanks (Part 24)

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, Fuel Tanks (Part 24)

Tonight, Jeff and I were able to complete the Wing Rib installation during this session. The first step was to rivet (and Proseal) the Tank Attach Bracket to the Tank Skin as shown below.

Then, rivets the Tank Inboard Rib to the Skin.

And finally, set the six AN470AD4-5 rivets between the Tank Inboard Rib - FWD, Tank Inboard Rib - AFT, and the Tank Attach Bracket. Below are several pictures of the final product.
