Section 41: Wing Attachment

Rv14 Build September and October

Wing Attachment

Since Im not ready to mount the wings there is only a few things I can do in this section. I primed the wing walk gap covers.

Prime the support for the wing walks.

Riveting on the supports

Done and done, keeping the different support in the correct location proved to be challenging. I wish I was more careful in labeling when priming.

Found out these holes are not countersunk or dimpled on the tank to install the wing gap fairings so I had to do that.

Making the pushrods for the flaps.

Flap pushrods.

Ive decided to buy these from aircraft specialty. They have a mod to change these and add fuel filters in the wing area for easier service and to have a seperate filter on each tank.

Bending the vent lines. Had the plans printed to the proper scale, that should help with the fit.

Still haven't figured out the bender perfectly, but I was able to get these bends to scale.

Finished vent lines.

Section 41 Wing Attachment 9.5 Hours
