RV14 Build May 30
Elevator
The day before I noticed I missed priming 2 parts so today I started with that so hopefully the primer will be dry before I need them in the assembly. I used the detail spray gun and it worked great for this. I mixed up only 1 Tablespoon and maybe used half!
I am going to work both elevators at once as long as it doesn't get confusing. The plans have me start with the rear spars, stiffeners and rivnuts. I used the squeezer to set all of these. I cranked up the PSI and the squeezer is actually setting the larger rivets!!
Next I put on the horns and counterbalance flanges. The horns were a little tricky since they angle in I couldn't use the squeezer, although I tried and had to drill out those rivets and start again.
Next was the counter balance skins.
Since I had primer left over I decided to touch up the right rear spar flange where the primer looked light.
2 Rear Spar assemblies completed!
Rudder travel stops.
Elevator 7.5 Hours
