JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 10)

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 10)

To keep the momentum going, I prepared the six W-822PP Wing Access Plates. The forward row of holes were Final-Drilled to #28, deburred, and dimpled to accept #6 screws. The remainder of the holes were Final-Drilled to #19, deburred, and dimpled to accept #8 screws. I also cleaned all the edges with the Scotchbrite Wheel and 220 grit sandpaper.

The six Access Plates are ready for Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo Primer.
