RV14 Build February 22-23
Baggage Area
The baggage area is basically done excepts for the last few lines of solid rivets that I had some confusion on.
Getting ready to prime the parts.
Done with Priming
I started to countersink this and it looks symetrical, but it def is not! now a need to order a new part.
Not symmetrical
Starting to install the floors. I did a mix of trying to get into the cockpit and sit on the bulkheads and just leaning over the edge on a later to try and set all these pop rivets. For now Im going to leave of the seat back hinges till after top coating. The hinges are anodized metal already and I don't want the topcoat to interfere.
More progress.
Decided it would be easier to have the plans in the plane with me to see the rivet call outs.
One side is almost done.
Done!! I used the double bend 3/32 rivet set to get the rivets in the back of the floor boards.
The rivets that are highlighted are flush, except the plans don't have you dimple the baggage ride or rear wall??? Vans says a solid 470 rivet is fine or to drill them out to 1/8' and use the LP3-4 pop rivets.
Well this decision can wait for now, and Im out of 470-3-3 so Im going to pop rivet on the rest of the baggage area sides.
Baggage Area 9.0 Hours
