JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Bottom Wing Skins (Part 8)

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 8)

In the previous post, I covered the dimpling of the Left and Right Inboard Bottom Skins. Today’s session completed the dimpling on the W-00005-L & -R Outboard Bottom Skins. I used the pneumatic hand squeezer to dimple all the holes that could be reached with my 3” in yoke. All the remaining holes were dimpled using the DRDT-2.

Pictured below is the Left Outboard Wing Skin.
