JVL’s RV-14: Finishing, Cowl Baffle (Part 5)

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, Cowl Baffle (Part 5)

The work and pictures in this post are from September 27, 2021.

After all the RTV dried, I installed the Left and Right AFT Baffle Assemblies to the engine. Here is a rear view of the Left AFT Assembly…..

…..and the front view. From this view, you can also see the AFT Center Bracket attached to the Baffles (where the right and left overlap) with two AN3 bolts into the nutplates.

This is the rear view of the Right AFT Assembly…..

…..and the front view.

Here is an overall view of both sides. (The picture is kinda blurry).
