JVL’s RV-14: Empennage, Fairings (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.

Empennage, Fairings (Part 6)

Tonight was a relatively short session. I only installed 42 CS4-4 rivets (22 on each Fairing); however, completed the Fairing installation on the left and right Elevators.

This is the top of the right Elevator with the rivets installed.....

.....and the bottom of the right Elevator.
