JVL’s RV-14: Finishing, Miscellanea (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.

Finishing, Miscellanea (Part 3)

I was just kinda messing around at the start of the session trying to find some motivation. So, I decided to rivet together the F-01452 Aft Tunnel Cover and the F-01452A Aft Tunnel Cover Doubler. I previously primed and painted the two parts, so they were ready to be riveted together and required no additional prep work. There are eight AN470AD3-3 rivets that hold the pieces together.

Here’s the top.....

.....and the the bottom.
