JVL’s RV-14: Finishing, Wing Attachment (Part 2)

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, Wing Attachment (Part 2)

This work session was completed on November 25, 2020.

These are the F-14122A Root Fairing Stiffeners (left column for the left side and right column for the right side). They came from Van’s in two long strip and each Stiffener had to be separated and “shaped”. These are the completed Stiffeners after being separated, “shaped” and dimpled.....

.....and after being treated with Alumiprep, Alodine and Akzo Primer. They are now ready for installation.
