JVL’s RV-14: RV Max Flap Actuator - PH Aviation Services (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.

RV Max Flap Actuator - PH Aviation Services (Part 3)

The work and pictures from this post are from November 12, 2022.

Finally, here is the completely installed RV Max Flap Actuator. Upper portion of the Actuator is attached to the modified Flap Motor Brackets with the following hardware:

(1) AN5-13 bolt

(2) NAS1149F0563P washers (AN960-516)

(4) NAS1149F0532P washers (AN960-516L)

(1) AN310-5 Castle Nut

(1) MS24665-134 Cotter Pin

The bottom portion of the Actuator is attached to the WD-1013A Flap Crank using the stock hardware called out in the build plans page 34-05. This includes:

(1) AN4-12A Bolt

(2) Bushing-AL .259x.375x.168

(1) NAS1149F0463P

(1) MS21042-4

The upgraded PH Aviation Services RV Max Flap Actuator is now completely installed. The only remaining step is to make the electrical connections. I will do that later when I start making the electrical connections for the entire plane.
