JVL’s RV-14: Wings, Ailerons (Part 15)

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, Ailerons (Part 15)

I worked on preparing the Spar and Nose Skin tonight for the Left Aileron.

The Spar: deburred all the holes, dimpled all the #40 holes in the flanges, and cleaned all the edges with 220 grit sandpaper

The Nose Skin: Deburred all the holes and cleaned the edges with 220 grit sandpaper.

Tomorrow, I will dimple the Nose Skin and then both pieces will be ready to be treated with Alumiprep, Alodine, and Akzo Primer.
