RV14 Build May 19
Still working ahead on the next section while I wait for my primer. First I continued to debur the Horizontal Stab attaching brackets. It took a little time because they are thick!
Next is the first real fabrication you have to do in the kit and all it is is cutting angle iron to size for the F-01411D Horizontal Stab Attach Bar and the F-14113-L&R Rudder Stops.
It took me a little bit to figure out the drawing and copy the cut marks onto the piece. Once I figured it out and it was to the band saw!
This is after the first cut, you can kinda tell that the sides angle in now.
I used the 3m cut and polish wheel to round the edges of the flange tabs so the skin will smootly rest against the radius.

The finished piece, before deburring.
Next up the Rudder stops. These went a little smoother since I am more comfortable reading the drawings and using the band saw.
All finished with the fabrication just need to counter sink the holes. I way able to use the Micro-stop counter sink tool on the outside holes, but the once closer to the flange I used the hand speed debur tool.
Next up was the mounting plates for the Vertical Stab. Mocking up, drilling and deburring.
