RV14 Build June 19 & 20
Lots of riveting here for these 2 days, some countersinking that I didn't see in the plans before priming, and a little priming on the bottom skin after I looked at how the skins come together.
Dimpling the bottom skin
Riveting the Bulkheads
Missed a few counter sinks
Decided to use my solder iron to remove the plastic around the rivets to protect the metal when woking. Worked great....except i scored the metal with the iron so now I have to fix that!
Priming the bottom skin where the skins will overlap.
A few days later when I removed the tape I noticed what looks like surface corrosion! The etch got under the tape and dried, now I have to clean theses areas up.
Drilling the holes for the yaw damper servo mount.
