JVL’s RV-14: Kit Delivery (Fuselage)

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.

Kit Delivery (Fuselage)

*****I usually update the my blog with my iPad using BlogTouch Pro. After a recent app update, I have been unable to login to the***** app. So, in order to keep from getting any further behind with new posts, I’m going to update the blog via the website until it’s fixed.

Today, my fuselage kit was delivered by Saia LTL Freight. This was my first experience with this freight company and I was very happy with their service.

There was no visible damage to the shipping crate itself; however, some of the staples were pulled away from the top of the crate as shown below. The banding straps held the top on with no problem.
