RV14 Build July 12 &13
Aft Fuselage
Spent maybe 30 mins riveting together the Elevator Trim tab motor bracket, but the rest was all on the aft Fuselage. Mostly installing the rest of the systems and cables and riveting on the side skins. Im still waiting on the tools to do close quarter dimpling to fix the elevator trim motor mounting #27 holes I forgot to dimple and the #30 holes that Im going to match drill to enlarge in the second to last bulkhead since my sloppy drilling of rivets oblonged the holes.
Trim motor bracket mounting plate.
Static Lines
Rudder cables and cable guides
1 top side skin riveted on 1 to go!
Side skins are coming on nicely, just have to rivet the second top side skin, top skin, and finish the Aft deck area!
This thing is really looking like an airplane!
Aft Fuselage systems installed!
Rudder cables and cable guides
Cleaning, etching, and priming the last parts of this kit!!
Last wipe down with rubbing alcohol before spraying!
Time to install some of these skins! I jumped ahead in the plans a little. I can't install the aft deck until i fix the holes for the second to last bulkhead and reinstall that. My buddy Matt has been coming over to work with me while he sits on call, I can't tall you how nice it is to have a helping hand!!! Thank you Matt!
