JVL’s RV-14: Fuselage, MID Lower Structure (Part 24)

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 24)

Yesterday, I treated several parts with Alumiprep and Alodine.....today, they get primed. These are the F-01458A-L & -R (small ones) and F-01458B-L & -R (large ones) Side Brackets.....

.....and the F-01458-L & -R Side Frames.

The two small Side Brackets were riveted to the Side Frames using AN470AD3-3. Here are both sides of the Frame after the Brackets were riveted into place.

The F-01430 Baggage Floor Stiffener was also primed.....

.....and received two K1000-08D nutplates with AN425AD3-3.5 rivets.
