JVL’s RV-14: Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 3)

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.

Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 3)

Continuing the work from the previous session, today:

I cleaned the edges of the two F-01416-L & -R Seat Ribs and the six F-01417-L & -R Seat Ribs. Once the edges of those eight Seat Ribs were cleaned, they were treated with Alumiprep and Alodine. Here are the Ribs hanging up to dry after getting treated.
