Ian's R​V-14A Project

A diary of building an Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft,
the Van's RV-14A

Welcome to my Blog

I try to explain what I've done and any significant problems or milestones.
​I'll leave it to the videos to show the work.

Another Practice Project

Completed the Vans practice Tool Box today.

Still need practice with riveting I think. Most were good but one or two didn't turn out too well. Tried a few different methods as well. The Pneumatic squeezer will need much more practise I think.

Did some practise with the Alodine. A bit patchy. Not sure if this the Alodine process or the Alumiprep. Not sure how much I should be "roughing" up the Aluminium. Noticed there were still patches of muck from the blue plastic and images from the red labelling.

Open to any help with this. Suggestions or tips on what is best. How long to leave in Alumiprep etc.

Wing Kit Inventory

2/2/2016

Completed the inventory of the Wing Kit  today. 

Only took a couple of hours to check contents of crates. Checking the contents of the hardware however, took over 4 hours. Found a few items of hardware missing. 

Also some bags of hardware were not well labelled so needed to go to plans to try and find out what parts were what. Still not able to identify a few parts so have sent an email and photo Vans for info on what parts are what.
