*Be careful to read the note that instructs you to label the parts before separating the pieces because there are different hole patterns that make each part unique even though they might look alike. Next items to be separated are the aft fuselage "J" stiffeners (F-01486D, F-01486E, and F-01486F). *These will be installed later at the very aft end of the fuselage. The stiffner angles (F-01497B) were then deburred and I scuffed them with ultrafine Scotchbrite pads because they will be primed later. The metal is thin enough that a pair of tin snips can do the job.
The stiffner angles (F-01473A) are next to be separated.
Rv14a quickbuild skin#
Later on page 10-21 they will be countersunk to enable a dimpled skin to fit into them and riveted to the skin in the area where the rudder cables exit the fuselage. This piece gets separated into four one inch parts and labeled. The first part that gets separated is the cable guides (F-01497B).
Rv14a quickbuild manual#
The first couple of pages in the tailcone section of the builder's manual instructs you to modify and separate parts from one another. These are the parts that are needed to comply with Service Bulletin SB 18-09-17 that deals with skin cracks that may develop in the bottom skin. These are all of the parts except for the longerons, bottom skin, side skins, wiring, and cables.
*For those kits that were shipped prior to September 26, 2018, the parts for SB 18-09-17 are: F-14147-L Stiffener Clip, F14147-R Stiffener Clip, F-14148B Stiffener Doubler, F-14148C Stiffener Doubler, and F-14148A Skin Doubler. The parts included: F-01474-R Aft Fuselage Top Skin, F-01475 Aft Fuselage Top Skin, F-14131 Upper Aft Fuselage Rib, F-01418B-R Fuselage Longeron, F-1037B Battery Angle, F-01407-R Side Frame, F-01486A-R J-Stiffener, F-01486B-R J-Stiffener, F-01486A J-Stiffener, F-01408-R Side Frame, WH-00015 ELT Antenna Cable, F-01409 Frame, WH-00059 Phone Cable, F-01414 Aft Deck, (2) F-01410C Horizontal Stabilizer Attach Bars, (2) F-01411C Horizontal Stabilizer Attach Bar Support Angles, F-01411E Deck Doubler, F-01412C Deck Angle, F-01473-R Aft Fuselage Side Skin, F-01412B Bulkhead, F-14113-L and R Rudder Stops, (2) CS-00014 Rudder Cables, F-01479 Aft Bottom Skin, F-01412A Bulkhead, (2) F-01473A Skin Stiffeners, F-01411B Bulkhead, F-01411A Bulkhead, F-01497 Cable Guide, F-01410 Bulkhead, F-14115 Rudder Cable Bracket, F-01408-L Side Frame, F-01407-L Side Frame, F-01486C-L J-Stiffner, F-01478 Bottom Skin, F-01486B-L J-Stiffener, F-01486A-L J-Stiffener, F-01473-L Aft Fuselage Side Skin, F-01418B-L Aft Fuselage Longeron, F-01474-L Aft Fuselage Top Side Skin, F-1037C Battery Angle, F-01429-L and R Bellcrank Ribs, F-01406B Bulkhead, and F-01475A Skin Doubler. I pulled the individual parts from the inventory that are needed to assemble the tailcone section. The fifth item to work on according to the builder's plans is the Tailcone. Van's Aircraft does not provide a "QuickBuild" option for the empennage.īasically, the empennage kit includes everything aft of the canopy and is about half of the total fuselage. I ordered the Empennage/Tailcone Kit to build first in the RV14A project.
