Section 37 Roll Over Structure

RV14 Build March 17, 18 & 26

Section 37 Roll Over Structure

Now that I am done priming time to assemble the Roll over structure. They have you start by aligning the frames on the airplane inserting 4 rivets to hold to orientation.

Rivet the center section.

Rivet on the bands.


I used clamps on the radius to remove and gab in the bar straps and the roll over bar.

 Installing the the busing and doublers for the canopy latching pin on the rear of the roll over bar.

Match drilling the from doublers.

Everything clekoed on to hold the alignment when drilling.


Install the pop rivets. From a previous post I was worried about the hole shape in the support straps on the inside of the roll over structure of these bottom 3 holes. But the are sandwich between the bar and the mounting bracket so it wasn't an issue.

Finished install.
