JVL’s RV-14: Fuselage, Aft Fuselage Attachment (Part 6)

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, Aft Fuselage Attachment (Part 6)

Tonight, we were able to install the rivets (circled below) common to the F-01473-R Aft Fuselage Side Skin and the F-01418-R Aft Fuselage Longeron (along with a few Skin to Skin rivets).

Here are two pictures of the inside, or shop head side, of the rivets installed above.
