JVL’s RV-14: Fuselage, FWD Lower Structure (Part 1)

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, FWD Lower Structure (Part 1)

Relatively short session tonight. Below are the F-01434-L & -R Skin Stiffeners and the two F-00020 Antenna Doublers. Both the Stiffeners and Doublers had to be separated, their edges cleaned, holes deburred, and dimpled. They are now ready to be treated with Alumiprep and Alodine and sprayed with Akzo primer.
