RV14 Build June 7
Elevator Assembly
Made a ton of progress today getting the elevator finished! A buddy from upgrade stopped by and helped, didn't get a picture of him because we were cruising but thanks a ton Matt R!! Not a lot of pictures today either sorry! But basically closed out all the rivets up to the point of ProSealing the trailing edge.
Started to scuff the trim tab and attach the trailing edge, the thin part in the right of the picture, with the tape but I ran out!!! Guess we are done for the day. Next step is ProSeal the wedges and rivet the trailing edges.
Neither Matt nor I could find anywhere in the plans where they have you close the row of rivets on the rear spar bottom skin outboard side after you no longer need access. We both read through the directions to the end of the Elevator and couldn't find it???? I made an executive decision that since I had help to rivet the rear spars after everything else was done, hope this doesn't bite me later!
Elevator 9.5 Man Hours - Yeah for Help!!
